I don't want to say I
I just want to say we
We'd make a great team
And teamwork is good
It's good enough for me
And mediocrity is something
I've been trying so hard lately to avoid
By avoiding conversations that lead to confrontation
While confronting my fears of life and failing hard
While hardly making progress
Progressing is a process
I'm processing everything that I've been through so far
Away, far away
I've been so far away
So far away

Romance seems like a means to an end
Maybe I don't need a lover, I just need the friend
Who carried my weight when my back was sore
I don't need a lover
I don't need a lover
I said, I don't need a lover
I don't need a love
I said, I don't need a lover 'cause I don't need anyone

And if I came back, would it be like back then?
Then we could get back to a place that's better than it has been
Lately, I've been feeling like you might not like me
Like I might be too late
Like there might be other ladies in your limelight
Limelight, limelight
You'll get it when the time's right
It's my life, my life, but romance takes the spotlight
Lately, I've been feeling like I might not like me
Like I might be too late
Like it might be too late
(I'm too late)
I'm too late

Romance seems like a means to an end
Maybe I don't need a lover, I just need the friend
Who carried my weight when my back was sore
I don't need a lover
I don't need a lover
I said, I don't need a lover
I don't need a lover
I said, I don't need a lover 'cause I don't need anyone

I don't need a lover
I don't need a lover 'cause I don't need anyone
I don't need a lover
I don't need a lover
I don't need a lover
