I need you
You're the only one I can run to
Please, don't leave
Come back, and save me
You like me better when I need you
When I'm texting saying that I miss you
You aren't content being a memory
So you sneak into my reality
But I don't think I need you
I'm doing great on my own
Look at all these things I can do
A job, my music, a home
It was something that I went through
But now it's time to continue
So you won't hear me say 'I need you'
You like me better when I'm not even me
When I'm a shell of who I used to be
But now I'm feeling kind of angry
If you love me so much, why did you leave?
But I don't think I need you
I'm doing great on my own
Look at all these things I can do
A job, my music, a home
It was something that I went through
But now it's time to continue
So you won't hear me say 'I need you'
You want to be my saviour prince, barging in
But look in the mirror, you're the dragon
You want to believe
That you're something I need
You like me best on my knees
But I won't beg for you again
I don't need you to mess with my head
But I don't think I need you
I'm doing great on my own
Look at all these things I can do
A job, my music, a home
It was something that I went through
But now it's time to continue
So you won't hear me say 'I need you'
I need you
You're the only one I can run to
Please, don't leave
Come back, save me

You act like you don't care
And maybe you don't
But I was there
When we made an apartment a home
You never call me
When you're drunk and alone
I wonder, is it easy?
Or do you have to hide your phone
Do you miss me?
I don't need you to
I'm being strong
I'm moving on
You don't need me
And I don't need you
You're just annoyed now
Because you only see what I joke about
You don't see me in my room
Trying not to cry about you
I consider blocking you
Because seeing your name is something I can't do
I wonder, are you happy without me?
Or do you grieve?
Do you miss me?
I don't need you to
I'm being strong
I'm moving on
You don't need me
And I don't need you
I don't need you
But I miss my best friend
I was trying so hard to fix this shit
I forgot to prepare for the end
If you truly knew me
You'd know this isn't easy
But now you feel like someone I don't know
And I don't need you, but I need to know
Do you miss me?
I don't need you to
I'm being strong
I'm moving on
But every now and then
I see you in my dreams
And I wonder if you ever think of me
But then I remember the terrifyingly freeing truth
You don't need me
And I don't need you

i still fucking love you

everything that’s mine feels partially yours
nothing feels the same as before
cant think about the things i bought for us
because i still want you to be the one
i still fucking love you
i don’t know what to do
it feels like a nightmare i can’t wake up from
what do you do when you hurt the one you love
if i had to be any colour, guess i could be blue
but i could never love another
because i still fucking love you
you hurt me and i hurt you too
guess neither of us knew what we would lose
guns blazing, i’m going crazy
i don’t want to lose you baby
i still fucking love you
i don’t know what to do
it feels like a nightmares i can’t wake up from
what do you do when you hurt the one you love
if i had to be any colour, guess i could be blue
but i could never love another
because i still fucking love you
i can’t talk, i can’t eat, i can’t sing
oh my god it’s so devastating
i let you into every part of my life
i gave you all of my spare time
people ask me how it’s going
and i have no clue
because all i know is
i still fucking love you
i still fucking love you
i don’t know what to do
guess it’s nightmares from now on
what else is there when you’re gone
if i had to be any colour, guess i could be blue
but i could never love another
because i still fucking love you
guess i never learned how to be angry
never learned how to give you space
so now i watch the tears roll down your face
and i try to retrace my steps but i feel kind of lost
i got to have the final word but at what cost

Meeting new people
Learning new things
Trying to seem cool, I tell them I like to sing
Ask a question
Get to know them
Play the game, follow the rules
Try to seem cool
Don't worry honey, it's not fate
Nothing scary, just a date
Do you like me?
Do you want me?
Do you like my hair?
Do I even care?
I doubt you're the one
But we can have some fun
Let's give this a try and see
What it's like to get to know me
Will I remember your birthday?
Your phone number, your name?
Or will you just fade away?
A million stories, all told before
But I never know what's in store
Do you like me?
Do you want me?
Do you like my hair?
Do I even care?
I doubt you're the one
But we can have some fun
Let's give this a try and see
What it's like to get to know me
Do I still believe in love?
Do I still think it's enough?
When you give all the love in your heart
It's too easy to fall apart
But this isn't love, it's not forever
It's just one outing together
This is all I am that you can't see
This is getting to know me
Do you like me?
Do you want me?
Do you like my hair?
Do I even care?
I doubt you're the one
But we can have some fun
Let's give this a try and see
What it's like to get to know me
