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 reveal||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 feeling|And darling, I'm feeling|Something for you||I don't need you to love me|I just needed you to know|That all of this time |Well, 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 feeling|And darling, I'm feeling||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 to love me|But just in case you do|Just know how much I would love it|If you loved me, too|
