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
