[Verse 1]
You gave me roses in a paper cup
Said, "Drink this down, it'll build you up"
Then every kind word came with a bruise
And I kept calling it love, calling it truth
You knew my cracks, you found the seam
Pulled on my heart like it was a string
I wore your promises like borrowed gold
Then watched them turn cold
[Pre-Chorus]
I got quiet just to keep you calm
Took the blame when you broke my arms
Now I see it in the mirror's face
I was shrinking in your place
[Chorus]
You gave me the world, then took my name
You gave me the world, then watched me break
I loved you hard, I loved you blind
But I won't die here this time
I gave you all my better days
Now I am walking out your way
You gave me the world, then made it bleed
I need me more than I need your need
[Verse 2]
Your sorry sounded like a closing door
Same old plea, then you wanted more
You kept the light on just to trap the moth
But I am not yours to loss
I hid my keys inside my sleeve
Kept my breath low, kept a packed-up dream
Last night your shadow hit the wall
This morning I chose to fall
[Pre-Chorus]
I got quiet just to keep you calm
Took the blame when you broke my arms
Now I see it in the mirror's face
I was fading in your place
[Chorus]
You gave me the world, then took my name
You gave me the world, then watched me break
I loved you hard, I loved you blind
But I won't die here this time
I gave you all my better days
Now I am walking out your way
You gave me the world, then made it bleed
I need me more than I need your need
[Bridge]
If love has teeth, then let it bite
I'm done pretending black is white
You don't get to call it care
When all you did was leave me scared
[Final Chorus]
You gave me the world, then took my name
You gave me the world, then watched me break
I loved you hard, I loved you blind
But I won't die here this time
I gave you all my better days
Now I am walking out your way
You gave me the world, then made it bleed
I need me more than I need your need
[Outro]
I need me more
I need me more
Than I need your need
