[Verse 1]
I thought I wanted fame
Thought I wanted money
To just be somebody
Thought I wanted fancy clothes
People come and go
A pill to pick me up when I'm feeling low
Wanted a fast car
To drive far
A big house with no doubts
And just everything on demand
A quick fling
A one-night stand

[Pre-Chorus]
This can't be what I want
'Cause I feel like I'm coming undone
The world is cruel
It teaches you
That you need all these things

[Chorus]
I just needed you
I just needed you
To be happy
[Verse 2]
I thought I wanted magazines
To validate me
It didn't stop my insecurities
Or having too many friends
To lie and pretend
But I'd go to bed alone again

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Why do they try
To make us feel like
We need these things to survive
Time after time?

[Chorus]
I just needed you
I just needed you
I just needed you
I just needed you

[Bridge]
I felt like I couldn't breathe
Nothing made sense to me
Except you
I felt like I couldn't see
Knew I was missing a piece
And it was you
[Chorus]
'Cause I just needed you
I just needed you
I just needed you
I just needed you
To be happy
