Don’t Need Me Lyrics by Graci Phillips

Catastrophe

2011

[Verse 1:]
Every time I try to fly
I realize that my wings are broken
And when I'm trying to ask why
There’s no sound 'cause my tongue's not working
And in my eyes
There’s disappointment I can't hide
[Chorus:]
But for once in my life
I wish that someone needed me
Like they need to breathe
I'd need you babe and you'd need me
And at one point in my life
I thought we weren't afraid of love
I thought that we'd both learned enough
I knew how it would be
But I didn't 'cause you don’t need mе
[Verse 2:]
Somewhere in my mind I’vе convinced myself
That you don't know what you’re saying
And I'm taking it all in stride
But my lips are simply not conveying
That all I ever wanted was you
[Chorus:]
But for once in my life
I wish that someone needed me
Like they need to breathe
I'd need you babe and you'd need me
And at one point in my life
I thought we weren’t afraid of love
I thought that we'd both learned enough
I knew how it would be
But I didn't 'cause you don't need me
[Bridge:]
You don't need me to hold your hand
But I've convinced myself you do
You don't care if I understand
Because you've gotta do what you've gotta do
[Chorus:]
But for once in my life
I wish that someone needed me
Like they need to breathe
I'd need you babe and you'd need me
