Ooh, ooh-oh
Don't need so much
Just a little bit of your touch
Ah-ah, ah
You always said I asked for more than love could bring
But I was only reaching for something true
I wasn't trying to change your wings
Just wanted to fly close to you
You called me needy, called me weak
But baby, I just wanted peace
In a world where love feels fake
I just needed you to stay
I never begged for diamonds, or for fire in the skies
All I wanted was your hand holding mine
But even that felt like too much
Why did I have to fight for your touch?
I didn't need forever
Just someone to hold when nights got colder
But every time I leaned in close
You pulled away like a ghost
I don't need so much
Just a little love, a little trust
I don't need grand shows
Just a heart that won't let go
You made me feel like I asked for stars
But I only asked to know where you are
I don't need so much
Just someone who calls this love
(I don't, I don't need that much)
I just needed us
(Why did you make it so tough?)
When all I gave was love
I learned to shrink, to not take space
To never ask you to stay too late
I kept my feelings in a jar
Afraid of pushing you too far
I tried to be the chill one
Never cry, never cling, never run
But why do I feel like I disappeared
While you stayed distant year after year?
You say love shouldn't feel like weight
But why'd you drop me when I stayed?
All I did was care too loud
And you told me to quiet down
I didn't need perfection
Just a little connection
But every time I opened wide
You ran and told me I was too much inside
I don't need so much
