I don't need to need you
Tell me what to do, tell me what to say
Don't you want to help me
Tell me what to do, help me find a way

If I was not me, I would hate me too
Just like you do
I don't need to need you
Tell me what to do, tell me what to say

It's all me
Worse by the simple scheme
You're slippin' away from me
Can't decide sometimes if it's worth the point
The point is the struggle and security

Don't believe you make no mistake
If you learn from what you got to take
Good or bad, it's all gonna add up in the end, but
You can never win

I don't need to need you
Tell me what to do, tell me what to say
Don't you want to help me
Tell me what to do, help me find a way

If I was not me, I would hate me too
Just like you do
I don't need to need you
Tell me what to do, tell me what to say

And it's the desperation to hold onto
Something that can't be held onto
So don't waste your time filling up my words
Don't tell me why I assume the worst

Don't believe you make no mistake
If you learn from what you got to take
Good or bad, it's all gonna add up in the end, but
You can never win

Don't fake me, don't tell me how,
Don't break me down, don't help me make it
