You’re Not The Man I Need

V5.5

[Verse 1] You show up when it’s good for you Say the words, but they don’t feel true I tried hard just to understand But you never really took a stand Late calls, say you miss my touch But in real life, it’s not that much I gave more than I should’ve gave You just took and you never stayed ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] I kept holding on, thinking you might change But you don’t even try ⸻ [Chorus] You’re not the man I need Not the one for me I gave you love, you gave me halfway I can’t live on “maybe someday” You’re not the man I need No, you don’t see me Now I know what love should be You’re not the man I need ⸻ [Verse 2] You like fun, you don’t like depth Keep me close, but at arm’s length Say enough just to keep me there But you never really show you care I was real, I was all in You were playing, I was fallin’ Now I see what it really was You don’t know how to give real love ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] I was giving you more than I received Now I finally see ⸻ [Chorus] You’re not the man I need Not the one for me I gave you love, you gave me halfway I can’t live on “maybe someday” You’re not the man I need No, you don’t see me Now I know what love should be You’re not the man I need ⸻ [Bridge] No more waiting on your time No more crossing all my lines I deserve a love that’s sure Not something I gotta cure I need truth, I need peace Not your inconsistency Now I’m choosing me ⸻ [Final Chorus] You’re not the man I need Not the one for me I gave you love, you gave me halfway Now I’m walking, I won’t stay You’re not the man I need And it’s clear to me Found my strength, I’m finally free You’re not the man I need
