I want someone who's confident But never thinks too highly Someone who can read my mind But doesn't read me badly I want someone spontaneous But plans their life just right Someone who never needs me But wants me every night I keep raising the bar Like I'm something to be won Funny how I want perfection When I'm far from being one Too picky, too needy Too scared to let you go I want you, then I don't I don't even know Too picky, too needy I'm my own worst enemy I want somebody perfect But they won't want me I overthink a simple text Then send another three I say I'm giving you some space Then wonder why you leave I find a hundred little things That tell me you're not right Then miss you when you're gone And think of you all night I keep raising the bar Like I'm something to be won Funny how I want perfection When I'm far from being one Too picky, too needy Too scared to let you go I want you, then I don't I don't even know Too picky, too needy I'm my own worst enemy I want somebody perfect But they won't want me Yeah, I know, I know, I make it complicated Read too much into every word you stated “Why'd you say it like that?” Now I'm spiralling again One minute you're the one I want Next minute, “We're better as friends” Got a list in my head Of the things that could go wrong Then I wonder why I'm single When I've been looking all along I want someone independent But I panic when they're gone Want a love that feels easy Then I question if it's wrong Yeah, maybe I'm the problem Maybe that's the truth I keep looking for the cracks Before I've even found the glue Can't have my cake and eat it But I still want every piece Maybe finding someone perfect Starts with giving myself some peace Maybe I don't want perfect Maybe I'm afraid to be seen So I push them away before they leave Then wish they'd stayed with me Too picky, too needy Too scared to let you go I want you, then I don't I don't even know Too picky, too needy I'm my own worst enemy I want somebody perfect But they won't want me Too picky Too needy Too picky Too needy Maybe that's just me
