Take What You Need Lyrics
I’ve cut myself open to put stuff inside
Chipped pieces away that I wanted to hide
I’ve told myself stop when I wanted to go
And I’ll tell you yes when I wanna say no
They say to be me then compare me to her
They tell me to change and then tell me I’m worse
I can’t do the same thing ’cause she did it first
But if I’m too different, then it doesn’t work
Can someone tell me who I am?
‘Cause I don’t think I know, no, I don’t understand
Can someone tell me who to be?
‘Cause I’ll do anything to make you like me
My flesh exists for you to feed
I write my words so you can read
I give myself to serve your greed
So here I am, take what you need
I’ll fail if you succeed
So I’ll slow down to keep your speed
I’ll hide away so you feel freed
Here I am, take what you need
I can blend in, I’ll fit in the mold
Sit and I’ll stay, I’ll do what I’m told
It’s black and it’s white, it’s silver and gold
I can be two things, I’m young and I’m old
Can someone tell me who I am?
‘Cause I don’t think I know, no, I don’t understand
Can someone tell me who to be?
‘Cause I’ll do anything to make you like me
My flesh exists for you to feed
I write my words so you can read
I give myself to serve your greed
So here I am, take what you need
I’ll fail if you succeed
So I’ll slow down to keep your speed
I’ll hide away so you feel freed
Here I am, take what you need
Can someone tell me who I am?
‘Cause I don’t think I know, no, I don’t understand
Can someone tell me who to be?
‘Cause I’ll do anything to make you like me
