[Intro] (hmm... yeah...) [Verse 1] I gave you everything I had, Filled up every empty space, Learned young that love gets earned, Be useful, be the safe embrace. But late at night I'd feel the ache — Why don't I feel chosen? Why don't I burn? [Pre-Chorus] I confused being handy With being held, I confused being needed With being desired. [Chorus] I don't wanna be needed, I wanna be wanted — Craved in the dark, not just called on when it's hard. I don't wanna be convenient, I wanna be the one you can't stop thinking of. Not the helper, not the fixer, not the proof of your love — Just me. Just enough. Just wanted. [Verse 2] Used to shrink to fit the frame, Became who I thought you'd choose, But a man who's only useful Is a man who's easy to lose. So I put the armor down — I am the crown. [Chorus] I don't wanna be needed, I wanna be wanted — Craved in the dark, not just called on when it's hard. I don't wanna be convenient, I wanna be the one you can't stop thinking of. No more pleasing, no more proving, No more shrinking down to fit — I want a love that meets me where I already sit. [Bridge] King energy, it's not a mask, It's the muscle when you finally stop trying so hard to be asked. I'm not chasing hands to hold me up no more — I'm the ground. [Outro] Not needed. Wanted. Not earned. Chosen. King for a day — Just for knowing.
