Song Lyrics: What I Needed by Chandler Moore
VERSE 1
I wanna thank you for kindly taking away the thing I had
Cause It would’ve hurt me, protection don’t feel good in the moment, but looking back
Wasn’t trying to be disrespectful
You know I’m stubborn I never woulda let go
Trust is hard with a jaded heart but with you
I finally learned
Chorus
It felt like you didn’t come through for me
When you didn’t do exactly what I wanted
But you
Always gave me what I needed
Foolish of me t
o box you in
And the shape of my broken heart didn’t leave you much room
But you
Always gave me what I needed
VERSE 2
Don’t wanna love you for who I made you to be up in my head
I wanna love you for exactly who you are, and nothing less
Cause when I’ve t
ried to piece together,
my own version, you’re always better
But trust is hard with a jaded heart but with you
I finally learned
BRIDGE
Oh You’re everything
Oh You’re all I need
