I thought I wanted fame

Thought I wanted money

To just be somebody

Thought I wanted fancy clothes

People come and go

A pill to pick me up when I'm feeling low.

Wanted a fast car

To drive far

A big house with no doubts

Just everything on demand

A quick fling

A one night stand.

This can't be what I want

'cause I feel like I'm coming undone

The world is cruel

It teaches you

That you need all these things.

I just needed you

I just needed you

To be happy.

I thought I wanted magazines

To validate me

It didn't stop my insecurities

Or having too many friends

To lie and pretend

But I'd still go to bed alone again.

Why do they try

To make us feel like

We need these things to survive

Time after time.

I just needed you

I just needed you

I just needed you

I just needed you.

I felt like I couldn't breathe

Nothing made sense to me

Except you

I felt like I couldn't see

Knew I was missing a piece

And it was you.

'cause I just needed you

I just needed you

I just needed you

I just needed you

To be happy.
