You Don’t Need Me
I want to be part of your world.
You’re not an easily persuaded girl,
But if I prod and tweak the right buttons, maybe I can have you.
So let’s play a game with the way that you feel.
It’s all the same, ’cause angel, nothing is real.
Everything you say, I will try to use it all against you.
The pain in my eyes is not a disguise.
I may not give you the whole truth, but I’ll tell you no lies.
Don’t run from me. I don’t really wanna’ hurt you,
But you cut me deep and I’m not gonna’ heal.
You want to be someone different but you looked the wrong way.
I saw in you, everything that I could want.
And you saw it too, just in somebody else.
And it’s all but moot ’cause it’s easy not to take the long way.
You wanna’ stay the course. You won’t renegotiate.
And you won’t divorce those little things you hate,
‘Cause if you’re not forced, there’s nothing else you really need.
And you don’t need me.
I won’t take it back, but I won’t give anymore,
‘Cause I know that that is what you truly abore.
Does it make me bad? I would say that that assessment’s untrue.
I’m not insane for my caring,
’cause my caring is not in vain if it helps you one day.
I’ll take the pain of staying ’cause I cannot leave you.
You’ve gotta’ want to fly. Don’t let ‘em hold you down.
Reach for the sky, even when your on the ground,
‘Cause if you don’t try, then no one else can set you free.
And you don’t need me.
It would be lovely to be needed the way that I need you,
‘Cause if you loved me then I’d feel as if the things I do,
Could have some kind of positive effect on you,
Instead of always making you cry.
You know I’ve been so high.
Don’t listen to a word I’ve said.
I’m only jealous I’m not in your bed.
My eyes are open, I can finally see.
I know exactly what you think of me.
And I am so ashamed. I’m sorry that I act this way.
I have found out games are something you don’t wanna’ play.
And I swear I’ll change. Just give be one more chance, you’ll see.
You don’t need me but I need you.
