Only When You Need Me
Introspective sad heavy pop punk
Lyrics
Verse 1
You call me when your sky turns gray,
But never when it’s blue.
I light your path when you’re afraid—
Then vanish outta view.
I’m not your safety net,
But you fall on me anyway.
And every time you leave again,
You don’t ask if I’m okay.
Pre-Chorus
I’m not a fire escape,
But I burn for you each time.
I’m not your backup plan—
Still, you dial like I’m on the line.
Chorus
You love me only when you need me,
When your world caves in completely.
You kiss me just to quiet your fears,
Then disappear for weeks or years.
I’m not your fix, I’m not your saint—
But damn, I still remain.
You love me only when you need me…
But I always come anyway.
Verse 2
You text like nothing’s changed at all,
“Hey, missed you” with a grin.
You never ask how deep I bled
While you were off with her again.
I’m stitched-up seams and quiet rage,
But I still say “I’m fine.”
Like maybe if I break enough—
You’ll finally make me mine.
Pre-Chorus
I’m not your lullaby,
But you hum me when you’re wrecked.
I’m not your medicine—
But you swallow me for effect.
Chorus
You love me only when you need me,
When your world caves in completely.
You kiss me just to quiet your fears,
Then disappear for weeks or years.
I’m not your fix, I’m not your saint—
But damn, I still remain.
You love me only when you need me…
But I always come anyway.
Verse 3
You say I’m “home,” but only lost—
Like I’m a map you barely read.
You take my heart in pieces, babe,
And blame it when you bleed.
I waited for the day you’d stay,
But you just stay gone instead.
And now I dream of silence
Where your chaos used to tread.
Bridge / Grand Finale
SCREAM IT LOUD—YOU NEVER LOVED ME.
You loved the way I bled.
You loved the mirror of my kindness,
Not the wreckage in my head.
You loved me when I held you up,
But never when I fell…
So if you’re calling now—
Guess what?
Go love yourself.
Final Chorus
You loved me only when you needed me,
But now I see it all so clearly.
I’m not your crutch, I’m not your ghost—
I’m not the one who hurts the most.
No more guilt, no more shame—
You won’t use my heart again.
You loved me only when you needed me…
But baby, that’s the end.
Soft Outro – Fading Echo
You needed me…
But I needed love.
I just needed loooove
I just needed loooove
I just needed loooove
Ooooooooh yeeeeaaaaah
