Lyrics I Don't Need You - Sleeping Lion

I don't need you to like me
I just need you to care
If I write it all down
Or I say it out loud
I 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 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
I 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 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
I don't need you to like me

I don't need you
No I don't need you
I don't need you
But if you're gonna stay

Know that
I don't need you
No I don't need you
I don't need
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
I don't need you to like me
