I know it's problematic But I have this habit Of digging holes I can't get out of When you throw me ropes, I let them hang loose I just sit and mope like a goddamn fool 'Cause I'm not that great with intimacy I pull away when I should reach 'Cause I'm scared to be seen as I am So I put up a shield when you ask No, I'm not a machine I'm afraid to look weak, I'm a man in need I need you, I need you (I'm a man in need) I need you, I need you (I'm a man in need) It's not as complicated As I tend to make it But I overthink Every fucking thing And I never mean to hurt you but I still do You always put me first and then I omit you I know it's not fair, but honestly I couldn't bear it if you'd leave And I guess that's why I wrote you this song So when you doubt how I feel, put it on 'Cause it's not you, girl, it's me You're a knight and you see, I'm a man in need I need you, I need you I'm a man in need I need you, I need you 'Cause I'm a man in need I need you, I need you I'm a man in need I need you, I need you I'm a man, I'm a man in need You're no angel in disguise I've seen demons in your eyes But I, I don't mind You're crazy Cutting people out of our lives 'Cause they wronged you once or twice I'll take your side Until the day that I die I need you, I need you (I need you now) I need you, I need you (Cause I'm a man in need) 'Cause I need you, I need you ('Cause I need you, I need you) I need you, I need you (I'm a man in need) I need you, I need you (I'm a man in need) 'Cause I need you, I need you (I'm a man in need) I need you, I need you I need you, I need you (I'm a man in need)
