ME LYRICS
Buried myself into somebody else
Shut out some parts of me
Did it so casually
I guess I needed that
To be able to step back
I lived my life without me
I never allowed me to
Too much I've had to live for
Put my life on hold for
I'm always pleasin' someone
Honestly, now I'm done
I don't need somebody to hold me
Don't need somebody to love me
Don't need somebody to pick these pieces up
I put together my broken
Let go of the pain I've been holdin'
Don't need to need somebody
When I got me
Loved you so much
Took an army to pull me up
But now on the other side
I remembered I could fly
I told you I wanted you
But you needed me to need you
Your insecurity
Was the death of you and me
Too many times you questioned
What were my intentions
I never gave you reasons
You're the one with secrets
I don't need somebody to hold me
Don't need somebody to love me
Don't need somebody to pick these pieces up
I put together my broken
Let go of the pain I've been holdin'
Don't need to need somebody
When I got me
When I got me
When I got me
I bet you feel the absence of my love every night
There's no one else, you are the reason I said goodbye
'Cause I don't need somebody to scold me
Don't need somebody that hurts me
Don't need somebody who feels weak standing next to me
I put together my broken
Let go of your hand I've been holdin'
Don't need to need somebody
When I got me
When I got me, yeah
