Need Me Lyrics

Need Me

You're drunk, the carpet is burned
I hate to find you like this
I always find you like this
I come home and clean up your mess
What would you do without that?
Why do I always come back?
Oh, what wouldn't I do for you

And I'm starting to think that maybe you need me
Maybe you need me
Maybe you need me
And I'm starting to think that maybe you need me
Maybe you need me
Maybe you need me

Some nights I want to run for the hills
It's never easy with you
I cannot reason with you
But your smile, as rare as it comes
What would I do without that?
Maybe that's why I come back
Oh, what wouldn't I do for you

And I'm starting to think that maybe you need me
Maybe you need me
Maybe you need me
And I'm starting to think that maybe you need me
Maybe you need me
Maybe you need me

I'm starting to think we were made for each other
But one of us in this relationship is raising the other
You remind me of my mother
We drive one another crazy as each other
And we're both adults and there's no excuse for the games that we play with each other
Where you at? At a friend's?
No, you ain't, motherfucker
But I give her the benefit of the doubt
Whenever the doubt kicks in, shiver
When I touch her, 'cause I love her so much, I'm a sucker
Now her bottom lip can quiver when she's in trouble, she's in hot water
Think I caught her cheatin' again
Give her another chance? Another one after that?
I'm swimming in that Egyptian River 'cause I'm in denial
Say I don't eat shit, but I have a shit-eating grin when I smile
Making an excuse for her, start actin' out
She's just acting out, with her inner child
Then I set the truth on fire
'Cause I'd rather believe a lie
Then I breathe a sigh of relief
I don't believe in going to bed mad
I keep on trying to make a bad girl good
But haven't I stood by you in good times
And bad, I'm starting to feel like you're god damn dead
'Cause I literally feel like you could die of a "should I?"
Leave me for good? You never would
Now it'd be your bad
Never understood why they call it goodbye
But I think I'm a pretty damn good guy
And you're a good person, too
I can save you, I can make you change
But I keep putting my fuckin' foot in my mouth
Every time I gotta come and bail you out
When you get in trouble that you get yourself in
I'm in trouble but I can't leave
I'd sell you out
I could never turn my fuckin' back on you
What is that?
I'm co-dependent
I'm just now noticin' it
But somehow it's like every time I'm about to go to end it
I ain't got the cojones to do it
Nor the heart, our apartment's tore apart
You're using my heart for a dart board
But God must've found stars for us 'cause somebody paired us up
And they say he ain't capable of making a mistake
But this one's perfect 'cause I'm

I'm starting to think that maybe you need me
Maybe you need me
Maybe you need me
And I'm starting to think that maybe you need me
Maybe you need me
Maybe you need me
