Tems – What You Need
What You Need Lyrics:
Hm
Okay, now, sometimes
You find yourself in two ways, yeah-yeah-yeah
Sometimes, your love, it feels divided, mm
And my answer, my answer is to pull out
Your love is like an endless sea
It won't lead me to anywhere
But I'm so confused
To all the pain and suffering
You still want to stay with me
I'm tired of this crisis
'Cause I feel like I'm in the dark
I'm not what you need
I'm not what you need
I'm not what you need
Get away from me
I'm not what you need
I'm not what you need
I'm not what you need, oh
I need to be alone now, I need to be alone
Your love is not my lifeline, your love is not my home
Returning you, you're not mine, to me, you don't belong
I'm better on my own, you're better when you're gone
And I'm so confused
To all the pain and suffering
You still want to stay with me (Oh yeah)
I'm done with all this crisis
And I'm finally out the dark
I'm not what you need
I'm not what you need
I'm not what you need
Get away from me (I'm not what you need)
I'm not what you need (I'm not what you need)
I'm not what you need (I'm not what you need)
I'm not what you need (I'm not what you need)
I'm not what you need (I'm not what you need)
I'm not what you need (I'm not what you need)
I'm not what you need (I'm not what you need)
I'm not what you need (I'm not what you need)
I'm not what you need (I'm not what you need)
Oh (I'm not what you need)
I'm not what you need (I'm not what you need)
Get away from me (I'm not what you need)
I'm not what you need
I'm not what you need
I'm not what you need
I'm not what you need
I'm not what you need
