I Don’t Need You to Love Me

I don’t need you to love me,
I don’t need you to care,
I don’t need you to hold me,
I don’t need you to be there.

I will keep walking on,
I will stand tall.
And I will see,
When the darkness falls.
I don’t need this feeling,
Blocking my view,
I don’t need you to love me,
But that doesn’t mean,
That I don’t love you.

So tell me baby,
What can I do?
Tell me honey,
What path leads to you?

Though, I don’t need you to love me,
And I don’t need you to care,
I’ll still want you to hold me,
And I’ll still need you to be there.

I won’t turn from you,
No matter what you say,
I won’t leave here, this way…
I love you darling,
Why can’t you see?
And why can’t you,
Why won’t you love me, too?

I know I said, that I don’t need you to love me,
That I don’t need you to care,
And I don’t need you to hold me,
That I don’t need you to be there.

Would you believe me?
If I said I lied?
Don’t make me leave again,
For that is why I cried.

What is this feeling?
Why is it new, to me?
Are you serious?
Do you really hate me?

Well I don’t know,
How much farther I can go,
Not from here,
Not this way.
I love you so truly.
I love you so well,
I said I don’t need you to love me,
But who were you to tell, me
That I never loved you.
That I never cared? For you
That I wouldn’t hold you?
That I wasn’t there? For you

So baby, can you tell me?
What is this thing I feel?
And why are you lieing?
You say this isn’t real…
But who are you to know?
Don’t listen my darling,
I turn now to see.
You never loved me,
But just maybe…
I could love again,
And who better, then my newest friend.

Maybe it was true,
I don’t want to be loved,
If it means, loving you.

I don’t need you to love me,
I don’t need you to care,
I don’t need you to hold me,
I don’t need you to be there.

Yes that’s right,
I’ll sleep alone, tonight…
Maybe I never needed you,
From the start.
Maybe I already,
Gave away my heart.

Maybe…. Just maybe.
