[Intro] They say they need me— Then turn their faces away. [Verse 1] You call when the room starts caving in, Then blame my hands for the shape it’s in. I carry your weight till my knees give way, You ask for the truth, then hate what I say. [Pre-Chorus] Your praise has teeth, your kindness a cost, I keep count of everything I lost. [Chorus] They say they need me, but why do they fucking hate me? Every time they try to shake me, it breaks me. You pull me close just to watch me come apart— Need me for the pieces, never want my heart. [Post-Chorus] Need me! (HATE ME!) Shake me! (BREAK ME!) [Verse 2] I read your silence like a warning sign, You want my strength but you poison the well. I bite my tongue till the taste turns copper, Then tear through the lock when the pressure gets louder. [Pre-Chorus] Your praise has teeth, your kindness a cost, I keep count of everything I lost. [Chorus] They say they need me, but why do they fucking hate me? Every time they try to shake me, it breaks me. You pull me close just to watch me come apart— Need me for the pieces, never want my heart. [Breakdown] Say you need me! Then spit my name! Say you need me! I’m done being your blame! [Bridge] If I’m the hand that keeps you standing, Why do you grind it into stone? I’m not your cure, not your confession, I’m not your shelter when you’re cold! [Final Chorus] They say they need me, but why do they fucking hate me? Every time they try to shake me, it breaks me. You pull me close—now watch me tear apart! Keep all your reasons. I’m reclaiming my heart. [Outro] Need me! Hate me! Shake me! You don’t get to break me.
