Man In Need

(album: Put Your Self Out There - 2021)

I know it's problematic
But I have this habit
Of digging holes
I can't get out of
When you throw me ropes, I let them hang loose
I just sit and mope like a goddamn fool
'Cause I'm not that great with intimacy
I pull away when I should reach
'Cause I'm scared to be seen as I am
So I put up a shield when you ask
No, I'm not a machine
I'm afraid to look weak, I'm a man in need

I need you, I need you
(I'm a man in need)
I need you, I need you
(I'm a man in need)

It's not as complicated
As I tend to make it
But I overthink
Every fucking thing
And I never mean to hurt you but I still do
You always put me first and then I omit you
I know it's not fair, but honestly
I couldn't bear it if you'd leave
And I guess that's why I wrote you this song
So when you doubt how I feel, put it on
'Cause it's not you, girl, it's me
You're a knight and you see, I'm a man in need

I need you, I need you
I'm a man in need
I need you, I need you
'Cause I'm a man in need
I need you, I need you
I'm a man in need
I need you, I need you
I'm a man, I'm a man in need

You're no angel in disguise
I've seen demons in your eyes
But I, I don't mind
You're crazy
Cutting people out of our lives
'Cause they wronged you once or twice
I'll take your side
Until the day that I die

I need you, I need you
(I need you now)
I need you, I need you
(Cause I'm a man in need)
'Cause I need you, I need you
('Cause I need you, I need you)
I need you, I need you
(I'm a man in need)
I need you, I need you
(I'm a man in need)
'Cause I need you, I need you
(I'm a man in need)

I need you, I need you
I need you, I need you
(I'm a man in need)
