In The End, I Needed Me
You told Me You needed Me.
Oh those magical words
Every girl needs to hear.
You told Me I was Your
Someone Special.
I Believed You.
I remember the countless days You told Me
You would never leave Me.
You would never.
You were so convincing, so
I believed You.
I spend My dreams on the
Future.
I flew so high,
Smiles were permanent.
So this is what Alive feels like.
I believed it because
I needed You.
What a funny thought,
To need Someone.
I’d only ever needed Myself.
But You told Me I needed You, so
I believed You.
I believed Your stories.
You’re quite a good storyteller.
You told me You regretted me
and everything i’d done
even the sacrifices i’d made
and i believed you
you sent me to the ground
an abyss of hatred
but i didn’t hate You
i hated me because
i Needed You
that’s what You told me right?
but You don’t need me
so who needs me?
what a funny thought
to be so dependent on
Someone
what a funny thought to
love myself
that’s what You told me.
I don’t believe you.
Because I don’t need you.
I need to feel Alive.
So go tell her you need her.
