[Verse 1]
Mama thinks that I’m going under
Papa says it’s all just a phase
I just hear the voice in my mind saying
Everything’s not gonna be okay
‘Cause I lost friends trying to tie up all my loose ends
Now I’m alone
Had a rough year trying to chase away the tears I
Wasted on love
So, I’m laying on the couch
Some doctor I don’t know
Hoping he can analyze my soul
I said my lover is gone
They left no note
I got nobody and no hope
[Bridge]
Doctor tell me how’d I get this low?
I don’t want to live my life no more
So give me all your pills
Something that can kill the pain
He says
Everything comes and everything goes
You don’t need love, you need you the most so
I won’t give you drugs to overdose
You don’t need love, you need you the most
[Verse 2]
Pocket full of happy memories
I just wanna throw them away
Spending all my time just wondering
How do I make this great escape?
‘Cause I lost touch with the people that I’m made of
Now they’re all gone
And I’m too shy when they call me on line
I won’t pick up my phone
So, I’m laying on the couch
Some doctor I don’t know
Hoping he can analyze my soul
I said my lover is gone
They left no note
I got nobody and no hope
[Bridge]
Doctor tell me how’d I get this low?
I don’t want to live my life no more
So, give me all your pills
Something that can kill the pain
He says
Everything comes and everything goes
You don’t need love, you need you the most so
I won’t give you drugs to overdose
You don’t need love, you need you the most
[Outro]
You don’t need love, you need you the most
You don’t need love, you need you the most
You don’t need love, no
You don’t need love, you need you the most (No)
You don’t need love, you need you the most
Everything comes and everything goes
You don’t need love, you need you the most so
I won’t give you drugs to overdose
You don’t need love, you need you the most
