[English]

Buried myself into somebody else

Shut out some parts of me, did it so casually

I guess I needed that to be able to step back

I lived my life without me, I never allowed me to

Too much I've had to live for, put my life on hold for

I'm always pleasin' someone, honestly, now I'm done

I don't need somebody to hold me

Don't need somebody to love me

Don't need somebody to pick these pieces up

I put together my broken

Let go of the pain I've been holdin'

Don't need to need somebody

When I got me

Loved you so much, took an army to pull me up

But now on the other side, I remembered I could fly

I told you I wanted you (I told you)

But you needed me to need you (needed me to need you)

Your insecurity was the death of you and me (oh)

Too many times you questioned what were my intentions (ooh, yeah)

I never gave you reasons, you're the one with secrets

I don't need somebody to hold me (oh, no)

Don't need somebody to love me (oh, yeah)

Don't need somebody to pick these pieces up (pick these pieces up)

I put together my broken

Let go of the pain I've been holdin'

Don't need to need somebody (don't need, I don't need)

When I got me (when I got, when I got, when I got me)

When I got me (when I got, when I got, when I got me)

Yeah-yeah, when I got me

I bet you feel the absence of my love every night (ooh, ooh)

There's no one else, you are the reason I said goodbye

'Cause I don't need somebody to scold me

Don't need somebody that hurts me

Don't need somebody who feels weak standin' next to me

I put together my broken

Let go of your hand I've been holdin' (let go)

Don't need to need somebody

When I got me (when I got, when I got, when I got me)

When I got me (when I got, when I got, when I got me)

Yeah
