I Don't Need You Lyrics

I don't need you to like me

I just need you to care

If I write it all down

Or I say it out loud

I just wanna know you're there

I don't need you to like me

I've been fine on my own

But if you gotta take interest

And claim that you're in this

Here's all that you gotta know

I didn't think that I'd ever be comfortable

Without someone else telling me

I'm good

But I've done more than I thought was possible

More than I thought that I would

So maybe if you'd met me some time ago

I'd be more desperate for all your attention

But I'm not like that, see

I don't need you to like me

I don't need you to like me

I just need you to stay

So I know

When I go off the deep end sometimes

Someone's there to stop me swimming away

I don't need you to like me

I just need you to listen

I know I'm a lot,

But I promise it's not

Something you'd be glad that you're missing

I didn't think that I'd ever be comfortable

Without someone else telling me

I'm good

But I've done more than I thought was possible

More than I thought that I would

So maybe if you'd met me some time ago

I'd be more desperate for all your attention

But I'm not like that, see

I don't need you to like me

I don't need you

No I don't need you

I don't need you

But if you're gonna stay

Know that

I don't need you

No I don't need you

I don't need

But I'm happy you're here anyway

I didn't think that I'd ever be comfortable

Without someone else telling me

I'm good

But I've done more than I thought was possible

More than I thought that I would

So maybe if you'd met me some time ago

I'd be more desperate for all your attention

But I'm not like that, see

I don't need you to like me
