What I Need

(Album: See Where The Night Goes - 2022)

Something inside is rising
And I can't hide it
It just occurred to me

Couldn't ever really seem to find it
I was blinded
By what I was told to be

I tried to rule the world
With guilty hands
I tried to make amends
Oh, but I can't

I tried to live that life
The best that I could
But it's so hard to love yourself
When you don't think that you should

So I'll give myself some peace
Something's come over me
That nothing's what I need

Something inside is calling
And now I'm talking
To the man I used to be

Love has many different colors
You can't paint no other
It's only your masterpiece

I tried to rule the world (I'm ready)
With guilty hands (I'm ready)
I tried to make amends (I'm ready)
Oh, but I can't (I'm ready)

I tried to live that life (I'm ready)
The best that I could (I'm ready)
But it's so hard to love yourself (I'm ready)
When you don't think that you should (I'm ready)
