I don't need to need you
Tell me what to do
Tell me what to say
Don't you wanna 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 made worse by a simple scheme
You're slipping away from me
Can't decide sometimes if it's worth the point
The point is the struggle, insecurity

[Chorus:]
Hopefully, you make no mistake
If you learn from what you've got to take
Good or bad, it's all gonna add up in the end but,
You can never win.

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

[Chorus]

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

I don't need to need you
Tell me what to do
Tell me what to say
Don't you wanna help me
Tell me what to do
Help me find a way
