Only When You Need Me

A Song About Friendship with a Psychopath… Verse 1 You only want me when you need me I’m just a number when you call Just a fix when things are breaking Just a ride when you fall But I needed something real Someone steady, someone true Someone who would sit and listen The way I always did for you ⸻ Pre-Chorus I started saying “no” out loud Now there’s silence where you used to be ⸻ Chorus How long’s it been since you’ve seen me? Not for what I give—but just for me If I was bleeding in the street tonight Would you even look at me? Or would you pass me by like nothing Unless I had something to give? You don’t see me—you just use me Tell me, is this how you live? ⸻ Verse 2 Last time you came around You needed saving once again Needed time, needed money Needed me to play pretend And I watched you stare at your phone Laughing like I’m not there I was breaking right beside you But you didn’t even care ⸻ Pre-Chorus You don’t hear me when I speak You don’t feel what this does to me ⸻ Chorus How long’s it been since you’ve seen me? Not for what I give—but just for me If I was bleeding in the street tonight Would you even look at me? Or would you pass me by like nothing Unless I had something to give? You don’t see me—you just use me Tell me, is this how you live? ⸻ Bridge (emotional / building) I’ve been praying in the silence That your heart would finally heal That the walls you keep around you Would break and let you feel I asked God to change the ending To restore what’s torn apart But I can’t make you see me And I can’t fix your heart You move through me like I’m nothing Like I don’t exist at all I kept holding on ‘cause I love you But love shouldn’t feel this small ⸻ Final Chorus (bigger / heavier) How long’s it been since you’ve seen me? Not for what I give—but just for me If I disappear, would you notice? Or just move on easily? I gave you everything I had Every chance, every piece of me I prayed for you to find your healing… But you never turned to see ⸻ Outro (soft / spoken or sung) I prayed for change… I prayed for healing… But I can’t keep bleeding Just to give your life meaning ⸻
