I Need Myself


I’ve waited too long for the right thing
To spoil it all with the wrong thing
Everybody loves me, why don’t you?
Everybody loves me, can’t you love me too?

The one I need right now is me
I need to be who I can be
I need to do the things I do
To do these things I don’t need you

I’ve waited too long for the right thing
To spoil it all with the wrong thing
For all the pain, there will be gain
After the stress, I’m free again

I need myself, myself alone
A chance to see how I have grown
A chance to do the things I must
Before this body turns to dust
