I don't need you to love me I need you to hear me out All these words that were trapped in my heart Are finally free from my mouth I don't need you to love me I need you to know how I feel Cause I don't want to live in regret of what I didn't with you I just can't hold it inside, Lord knows how hard I've tried I need to confess, to profess all these things that I'm feelin And darlin' I'm feelin something for you I don't need you to love me I just needed you to know That all of this time when I wished you were mine But I never let it show I don't need you to love me I need you to understand That I tried to control my heart But it slipped through my hands I just can't hold it inside, Lord knows how hard I've tried I need to confess, to profess all these things that I'm feelin And darlin' I'm feelin something for you What if it turns you away? And all that I'm left with are yesterdays I know I need to be brave Cause I know there's something I've got to say I don't need you I don't need you I don't need you I don't need you Ooooo ooo ooooooo I don't need you to love me But just in case you do. Just know how much I would love it If you loved me too
