You Need Me

If I were a river would you ask me to flow up a mountain
If I were a mountain would you ask me to bow my head down for you
If I were air would you ask me to stay under water
If I were the sea would you ask me to dry up for you

So why do you ask me to forget you
While you're the only thing that's on my mind
And if you decide to leave me dying
Just know that there'll be nothing left behind

If I were a rock would you tell me to fly and show you the world
If I were the world or even more would you tell me that you would need less
If I were someone else would you tell me to be me
If I were more a man I would tell you to stick it right up your ass

Your bitching mother, your asshole brother, your fucking friends
No-one was ever on my side
But when life gets harder and there seems no end
Yeah, then I know where you would like to hide

You say that I am holding you down
You say that you got to be free
You say that you'll feel better after I have gone
But I know all you really need is me,
You need me, you need me, you need me, me, me, yeah

If I would tell you that you're better off
With me the way I'm standing here today
If I would tell you that this life
Is what you have been dreaming, would you stay
