What You Needed

(album: Lie Out Loud - 2020)

I been dodging calls trying to forget it all
But you come knocking around again
You tell me that I'm wrong
Yeah you said it all along
But it's better if we stay just friends

I think I'm thinking too much
Instead of giving you up
Wish I could be something more for you
I think I'm drinking too much
I know I wasn't enough
But I could do so much more for you

I feel it rushing through my veins again
When you say let's just be friends
And all I need is someone I can just depend on
Guess you can't pretend

I heard you say
That it was never what you needed anyway
And I've heard you say
That I was never what you needed
Never what you needed

Thinking 'bout our secrets and if you're gonna keep them
Or are you gonna shout them out?
Is the feeling mutual or don't you see a future?
You didn't need to shoot me down

I think I'm thinking too much
Instead of giving you up
Wish I could be something more for you
I think I'm drinking too much
I know I wasn't enough
But I could do so much more for you

I feel it rushing through my veins again
When you say let's just be friends
And all I need is someone I can just depend on
Guess you can't pretend

I heard you say
That it was never what you needed anyway
And I've heard you say
That I was never what you needed
Never what you needed

I think I'm thinking too much
Instead of giving you up
Wish I could be something more for you
I think I'm drinking too much
I know I wasn't enough
But I could do so much more for you

I feel it rushing through my veins again
When you say let's just be friends
And all I need is someone I can just depend on
Guess you can't pretend

I heard you say
That it was never what you needed anyway
And I've heard you say
That I was never what you needed
Never what you needed
