don’t need me

Catastrophe, 2011

Written by Graci Phillips

Every time I try to fly 

I realize that my wings are broken

and when I'm trying to ask why

There's no sound cause my tongues not working

And in my eyes

There's disappointment I can't hide

But for once in my life

I wish that someone needed me

Like they need to breathe

I'd need you babe and you'd need me

And at one point in my life

I thought we weren't afraid of love

I thought that we'd both learned enough 

I knew how it would be

But I didn't cause you don't need me

Somewhere in my mind I've convinced myself

That you don't know what you're saying

And I'm taking it all in stride

But my lips are simply not conveying

That all I ever wanted was you

But for once in my life

I wish that someone needed me

Like they need to breathe

I'd need you babe and you'd need me

And at one point in my life

I thought we weren't afraid of love

I thought that we'd both learned enough 

I knew how it would be

But I didn't cause you don't need me

You don't need me to hold your hand

But I've convinced myself you do

You don't care if I understand

Because you've gotta do what you've gotta do

But for once in my life

I wish that someone needed me

Like they need to breathe

I'd need you babe and you'd need me
