My Song - I Don't Need

Requested by Lostdove Song Lyrics It started years ago when my phone would ring at night I picked up every time just to try and make it right I listened to their problems, I carried all their stress Thought if I stayed useful, I'd be part of the rest I bent over backwards so they wouldn't walk away Scared if I said no, they wouldn't want me to stay Then my own life broke and my knees hit the floor I called those same people, but nobody opened the door They didn't want my heart, they just used my time They liked that I said yes and never drew a line Now I walk down the street when the sun starts to drop Look through the windows where the laughs never stop A family at the table passing round the bread Eating dinner together while the porch light shines red It looks so small to them, but to me it's the goal Just a quiet place to land that can heal my soul I want a real partner who asks how I feel Who listens when I talk and keeps everything real I want a warm family who opens up the door And says "you belong here, you don't gotta prove no more" I want to raise my kids in a house full of peace Where love doesn't leave and the hugs don't cease Where making a mistake doesn't mean they gotta go And they grow up with memories that never hurt or show I'm scared to trust anyone, I wait for them to leave Because everyone before made it hard to believe I confused being needed with being truly loved Spent my whole life giving, just to get pushed and shoved I just want a door where I don't gotta earn my place A seat at the table where nobody hides their face No putting on a mask, no pretending that I'm fine Just a quiet little room where I finally take my time I don't need a lot of money, don't need a big crowd Just a safe place to rest when the world gets loud Where somebody wants me with nothing left to give Where love isn't a debt and I can finally live It makes me so angry, but it breaks my heart too Thinking of the years that I gave away to you I was shelter for everyone while I soaked in the rain Hiding my own tears just to fix their pain I haven't found that doorway, I'm still on my own Sitting in the quiet, staring at my phone I'm scared it's just a dream that I made in my head But I'm done begging people for a piece of their bread I just want a door where I don't gotta earn my place A seat at the table where nobody hides their face No putting on a mask, no pretending that I'm fine Just a quiet little room where I finally take my time I don't need a lot of money, don't need a big crowd Just a safe place to rest when the world gets loud Where somebody wants me with nothing left to give Where love isn't a debt and I can finally live #sadmusic #sadsong #chillmusic #lovesongs #popmusic #englishsongs #calmmusic #englishsong #newsong #hiphopsongs #hiphop #chillmusic #sadlyrics #sad
