I need you to understand my love
You deserve someone who loves themself
All I do is put myself through hell
And if you stay I'll drag you down as well

Yeah all I wanna do is shield you
From the pain I had to go through
Loving me ain't easy to do

So I think it's time you finally hear the truth
That no one can save me, no not even you

So I need you to understand my love
You deserve someone who loves themself
All I do is put myself through hell
And if you stay I'll drag you down as well

Yeah I need you to let go
I can't hold you this close
The girl you loved is long gone
And I'm just left with this ghost

Tell me where do I go
Pills too hard to swallow
If it's not you, if it's not you I'd rather be alone

So I need you to understand my love
You deserve someone who loves themself
Yeah you deserve someone who loves themself
