I Don’t Want Anyone Unless It’s You
We live in a world right now where social media is an accessible thing
We use it every day to share our feelings on food, a movie or a song or how school was
But we never use it to share our feelings on how we’re doing or our feelings on how we feel about other people
We never talk about love anymore, and even when we do, we’re doing it for a trend or for a special day but we shouldn’t do it just for that one day
We should do it everyday
We should go out everyday and go to the people that we love and say
“Hey, you’re cool, you’re fantastic, you’re amazing and I love you for that
You’re my favourite person in the whole world”
We should do that more
But we don’t, why don’t we?
We, as a society, are so afraid of being alone, but we’re always alone, we think we’re better off alone
We’re afraid of letting people into our lives because we’re afraid that once they get too close
Once we get close to them and we’re like
“Hey, maybe now I won’t be alone”
They will leave, and we’ll be alone
So we choose to stay alone forever and never love anyone ever again
When we shouldn’t do that
If you love someone, you have to tell them
Because we don’t have much time left
With everything happening in the world right now, it’s important that (stutter)
People we love, it’s important that we tell them that we love them
Because once, if, when we die, it’s all over and we won’t be able to tell them we love them anymore
We have to feel like we can tell them we love them
We have to tell people we love them, we have to tell people how we feel
Because wouldn’t you wanna know if someone loved you?
Wouldn’t you wanna know if someone deeply cared about you and you were their favourite person?
If someone cared about you that much, if they deemed you their favourite person in the entire world, out of 7.9 billion people
Wouldn’t you wanna know?
Because I damn would
I know for a goddamn fact that I would wanna fucking know if someone loved me more than anyone else in the world
Because that’s what I need right now, that’s what society needs right now
That’s what we all need right now
Someone we love, and someone that loves us back
(Outro)
Life is too short, but I will live for you
You're mucking off, but I will live for you, my selfless love
