I don't need you to like me
I just need you to care
If I write it all down
Or say it out loud
Just wanna know you're there
I don't need you to like me
I've been fine on my own
But if you gotta take interest
And claim that you're in this
Here's all that you gotta know
I didn't think that I'd ever be comfortable
Without someone else telling me
I'm good
But now I've done more than I thought was possible
More than I thought that I would
So, maybe if you'd met me some time ago
I'd be more desperate for all your attention
But I'm not like that, see
Don't need you to like me
I don't need you to like me
I just need you to stay
So, I know
When I go off the deep end sometimes
Someone's there to stop me swimming away
I don't need you to like me
I just need you to listen
I know I'm a lot
But I promise it's not
Something you'd be glad that you're missing
I didn't think that I'd ever be comfortable
Without someone else telling me
I'm good
But now I've done more than I thought was possible
More than I thought that I would
So, maybe if you'd met me some time ago
I'd be more desperate for all your attention
But I'm not like that, see
Don't need you to like me
I don't need you
No, I don't need you
But if you're gonna stay
Know that
I don't need you
No, I don't need you
But I'm happy you're here anyway
I didn't think that I'd ever be comfortable
Without someone else telling me
I'm good
But I've done more than I thought was possible
More than I thought that I would
So, maybe if you'd met me some time ago
I'd be more desperate for all your attention
But I'm not like that, see
Don't need you to like me
