Appreciated

You've got your needs, I've got mine
And daily I'm going in
To make sure you have everything that you need
I don't mind
But I need what I need
And I need to feel supported
So that you can be supported
Coz tryna be what I should be for you requires pouring out all of me
And I could be depleted any moment
So fill me up and build me up
So I can be heroic

I need to feel appreciated
Appreciated
The road I take is difficult
But it's enough if I can feel appreciated
I mean it baby
I know I'm not asking for too much
Kinda like you need to feel loved
I need to know that my effort's not wasted
Just know that I need it baby
And for Pete's sake on the days you don't feel it can you please fake it?

Baby I grew up on fairy tales
I know all the stories very well
And I wasted my time on a carousel chasing the girl of my dreams

Ah
But you're not the girl of my dreams
You're too real for that
Friendship we have
I'd fight and steal for that
Let's make a deal
I'll give you all that you need long as I can feel appreciated

Appreciated
