What You Need Lyrics

Hm Okay, now, sometimes You find yourself in two ways, yeah-yeah-yeah Sometimes, your love, it feels divided, mm And my answer, my answer is to pull out Your love is like an endless sea It won't lead me to anywhere But I'm so confused To all the pain and suffering You still want to stay with me I'm tired of this crisis 'Cause I feel like I'm in the dark I'm not what you need I'm not what you need I'm not what you need Get away from me I'm not what you need I'm not what you need I'm not what you need, oh I need to be alone now, I need to be alone Your love is not my lifeline, your love is not my home Returning you, you're not mine, to me, you don't belong I'm better on my own, you're better when you're gone And I'm so confused To all the pain and suffering You still want to stay with me (Oh yeah) I'm done with all this crisis And I'm finally out the dark I'm not what you need I'm not what you need I'm not what you need Get away from me (I'm not what you need) I'm not what you need (I'm not what you need) I'm not what you need (I'm not what you need) I'm not what you need (I'm not what you need) I'm not what you need (I'm not what you need) I'm not what you need (I'm not what you need) I'm not what you need (I'm not what you need) I'm not what you need (I'm not what you need) I'm not what you need (I'm not what you need) Oh (I'm not what you need) I'm not what you need (I'm not what you need) Get away from me (I'm not what you need) I'm not what you need I'm not what you need I'm not what you need I'm not what you need I'm not what you need

Meaning of What You Need

Hm, sometimes you find yourself lost in a tangled love, feeling divided and overwhelmed by pain. Tems’ “What You Need” is a raw expression of needing to escape a suffocating relationship filled with suffering and confusion. The repeated declaration – "I'm not what you need" – isn’t about self-deprecation but a firm assertion of boundaries and a desperate plea for freedom. It’s an acknowledgement of the imbalance, recognizing that this love isn't offering solace or a safe haven; instead, it’s fueling further distress. The song embodies frustration, exhaustion, and ultimately, a powerful desire to be alone, to reclaim agency and peace. Tems powerfully conveys the need for self-preservation, urging listeners to prioritize their well-being by stepping away from situations that drain them – “Get away from me.”
