Verse 1
I don't need you to love me
I need you to hear me out
All these words that were trapped in my heart
Are finally free from my mouth
I don't need you to love me
I need you to know how I feel
Cause I don't want to live in regret
Of what I didn't reveal
Chorus
I just can't hold it inside
Lord knows how hard I've tried
I need to confess to profess
All these things that I'm feeling
And darling I'm feeling
Something for you
Verse 2
I don't need you to love me
I just needed you to know
That all of this time well I wished you were mine
But I never let it show
I don't need you to love me
I need you to understand
That I tried to control my heart
But it slipped through my hands
Chorus
I just can't hold it inside
Lord knows how hard I've tried
I need to confess to profess
All these things that I'm feeling
And darling I'm feeling
Bridge
What if it turns you away
And all that I'm left with are yesterdays
I know I need to be brave
Cause I know there's something I've got to say
I don't need you
I don't need you
I don't need you
I don't need you
Outro
I don't need you to love me
But just in case you do
Just know how much I would love it
If you loved me too
