[00:06.54]You don't need to love me
[00:07.86]
[00:10.01]And tell me that you do
[00:11.67]
[00:13.22]Don't make me any promises
[00:14.73]
[00:16.48]Just promise we're not through
[00:18.02]
[00:19.87]Don't give me one damn thing
[00:21.62]I won't let you call this greed
[00:23.30]Just let me give to you
[00:24.80]Its the only thing I need
[00:25.94]
[00:26.54]I know that this can work
[00:27.77]
[00:28.29]If you plant one simple seed
[00:29.36]
[00:30.53]You'd see it grow
[00:31.28]
[00:33.74]You don't need to love me
[00:34.95]
[00:37.70]To know
[00:38.14]
[00:44.14]You don't need to need me
[00:45.30]
[00:47.12]It's better that you don't
[00:48.33]
[00:50.31]If each of us can walk away
[00:52.17]
[00:53.61]It won’t matter that I won't
[00:55.55]
[00:57.15]We'll both be self contained
[00:58.30]
[00:59.13]But together not alone
[00:59.87]
[01:00.43]You can keep me in the dark
[01:02.16]Hell its all I've ever known
[01:03.22]
[01:03.81]But we both could use a friend
[01:05.58]Who will always check the phone
[01:06.69]
[01:07.86]And take the call
[01:08.81]
[01:11.09]You don't need to need me
[01:12.57]
[01:14.93]At all
[01:15.53]
[01:17.58]Let me be your emergency contact
[01:20.06]
[01:21.00]Your occasional plus one
[01:22.86]
[01:24.40]Your excuse to take a sick day
[01:26.15]
[01:27.10]When the forecast calls for sun
[01:29.07]
[01:31.27]We can keep on being lonely
[01:33.37]
[01:34.50]But we don't have to be apart
[01:36.42]
[01:37.97]And I'll never even ask you
[01:39.84]
[01:40.97]To let me have your heart
[01:42.79]
[01:44.05]So I'll never break your heart
[01:46.06]
[01:47.34]No I'll never break your heart
[01:49.48]
[01:57.58]You don't need to love me
[01:59.13]
[02:00.87]To let me help you through
[02:02.14]
[02:03.95]You don't need to confide in me
[02:05.96]
[02:07.42]I've got crap enough for two
[02:09.19]
[02:11.25]You don't need to answer
[02:13.02]
[02:14.41]I'll know before you do
[02:16.45]
[02:18.52]But hear me
[02:19.50]
[02:21.76]And believe me
[02:22.96]
[02:24.57]That you don't need to love me
[02:26.57]
[02:33.45]The way that I love you
