What I Need
Something inside is rising
And I can't hide it
It just occurred to me
Couldn't ever really seem to find it
I was blinded
By what I was told to be
I tried to rule the world
With guilty hands
I tried to make amends
Ooh, but I can't
I tried to live that life
The best that I could
But it's so hard to love yourself
When you don't think that you should
So I'll give myself some peace
Something's come over me
That nothing's what I need
Something inside is calling
And now I'm talking
To the man I used to be
Love has many different colors
You can't paint no other
It's only your masterpiece
I tried to rule the world
With guilty hands
I tried to make amends
Ooh, but I can't
I tried to live that life
The best that I could
But it's so hard to love yourself
When you don't think that you should
So I'll give myself some peace
Something's come over me
Nothing's what I need, yeah
Ooh, nothing's what I need, oh
Nothing's what I need, yeah
Nothing's what I need, yeah
Yeah
I tried to rule the world (I'm ready)
With guilty hands (I'm ready)
I tried to make amends (I'm ready)
Ooh, but I can't (I'm ready)
I tried to live that life (I'm ready)
The best that I could (I'm ready)
But it's so hard to love yourself (I'm ready)
When you don't think that you should (I'm ready)
So I'll give myself some peace
Something's come over me
That nothing's what I need, ooh
Nothing's what I need, ooh-ooh
And I can't hide it
It just occurred to me
Couldn't ever really seem to find it
I was blinded
By what I was told to be
I tried to rule the world
With guilty hands
I tried to make amends
Ooh, but I can't
I tried to live that life
The best that I could
But it's so hard to love yourself
When you don't think that you should
So I'll give myself some peace
Something's come over me
That nothing's what I need
Something inside is calling
And now I'm talking
To the man I used to be
Love has many different colors
You can't paint no other
It's only your masterpiece
I tried to rule the world
With guilty hands
I tried to make amends
Ooh, but I can't
I tried to live that life
The best that I could
But it's so hard to love yourself
When you don't think that you should
So I'll give myself some peace
Something's come over me
Nothing's what I need, yeah
Ooh, nothing's what I need, oh
Nothing's what I need, yeah
Nothing's what I need, yeah
Yeah

So I'll give myself some peace
Something's come over me
That nothing's what I need, ooh
Nothing's what I need, ooh-ooh
