Need What I Need

I said I need what I need,

And I swear it ain’t a lot,

Just stay with me through all of this

When everything I’ve got feels lost.

I know how many songs say I’m broken but I’m still trying to travel the way you showed me, Even when I wander off,

I know you see me breaking into pieces…

I’m just asking

Don’t break more..

I only need me alittle bit

Just a little of what you give

Something telling me there’s still a reason

For the life I’m still living

You know where I’m trying to go

Before I even know the direction.

You’ve seen every version of me,

Every mistake, every confession.

And somehow you’re still listening.

I keep bringing up my past,

With the same story with a different ending.

Going in circles, asking questions

Writing up desperate offerings

Thinking somehow you’ll wont get tired of me repeating ’em. Am I done moving fast.

I’m learning this new version of myself

Trying to turn another page

Without running back to somebody else.

Cuz what I need is love that

I’m asking from something deeper,

Something this world can’t give to me.

Something I can’t buy,

Something I can’t touch,

Something I can only believe.

Call it purpose…

Call it peace…

Call it sweet relief…

But you already know

What I mean.

I said I need what I need,

And I swear it ain’t a lot.

Just stay with me through all of this

When everything I’ve got feels lost.

I know how many songs say I’m broken but

I’m still trying to travel the way you showed me, Even when I wander off.

You’ve watched me break a thousand times…

And somehow

still haven’t lost me.

I’m tired of saying I’m suffering.

Sometimes I wish you’d take it all away.

But somewhere inside I already know

That ain’t how you operate.

You never promised easy.

You never said I wouldn’t hurt.

Maybe strength ain’t getting what I’m asking for, Maybe strength is learning what the pain is worth.

So keep showing me the way.

I’ll keep trying to understand.

When I get angry at the life I have,

Remind me there’s still a plan.

I know I’ve been difficult.

I know I disappeared when I should’ve listened. Funny how I only start talking to you When I feel like something’s missing.

you hear every word first

That I don’t really like to say aloud.

Now I’m here constantly writing away

Don’t know if it makes me proud

You see every tear

That never made it around a crowd.

You were there before my first mistake,

Before my first love knew my name.

Before I knew what life could take,

You already knew what I’d become someday.

Now I sit here while

I’ve spent this whole song asking you

To give me something…

When every morning I wake up to what

Might’ve been your answer but couldn’t realize faster cuz all I kept saying

Is I need what I need,

But maybe I already got

More than I ever noticed

When I think that I’m lost.

I’ll still learn how to follow but,

Still stumbling when I try to walk.

when nobody else can hear me…

I know exactly who I’m talking to..

Oh God… Mm
