I never needed space

Verse 1

You say you’re tired of the fighting

I’m tired of being scared

Of waking up and wondering

If you’ll still be there

You say you need some distance

To find your peace again

But every mile between us feels

Like losing my best friend

Pre-Chorus

You call it giving things some room

I call it slipping through my hands

You say you’ll always love me

But I don’t think you understand

Chorus

I never needed space

I needed you to stay

I needed to know forever

Would still mean forever on the hard days

I wasn’t looking for drama

I wasn’t looking for war

I was standing at the doorway crying

Asking what we’re fighting for

And every time you pulled away

A little piece of me broke too

I never needed space

I needed you

Verse 2

You say I always find the darkness

But you never see the light

The way I kept choosing us

Even after every fight

You say I talk about my pain too much

Like it’s something I enjoy

But pain isn’t a weapon, baby

It’s just a wound without a voice

Pre-Chorus

And maybe I’m not easy

Maybe I feel too deep

But I would’ve carried your burdens too

If you’d let me keep

Chorus

I never needed space

I needed reassurance

Needed one safe place

In all of this uncertainty

You say I wanted too much

But all I ever asked was this

When things got hard

Don’t make me wonder if you still exist

Because every time you pulled away

The silence felt like truth

I never needed space

I needed you

Bridge

You told me you had no hope

God, that shattered something in me

Not because I thought we were perfect

But because hope was all I could still see

You kept asking me to change

I kept asking you to stay

And somewhere in the middle

We got lost along the way

Final Chorus

I never needed space

I needed your hand in mine

Needed to know we were still us

When we weren’t doing fine

I never needed perfect

Never needed some fairytale

I just needed to believe

Love wouldn’t leave when everything else failed

And maybe that’s the heartbreak

Maybe that’s the truth

You wanted peace

And I just wanted you

Outro

So if you ever think about me

Years from now when this is through

Don’t remember all the fights

Remember how hard I loved you
