"Me" lyrics - KELLY CLARKSON

Buried myself into somebody else
Shut out some parts of me, did it so casually
I guess I needed that to be able to step back
I lived my life without me, I never allowed me to

[Pre-Chorus:]
Too much I've had to live for, put my life on hold for
I'm always pleasin' someone, honestly, now I'm done

[Chorus:]
I don't need somebody to hold me
Don't need somebody to love me
Don't need somebody to pick these pieces up
I put together my broken
Let go of the pain I've been holdin'
Don't need to need somebody
When I got me

Loved you so much, took an army to pull me up
But now on the other side, I remembered I could fly
I told you I wanted you (I told you)
But you needed me to need you (Needed me to need you)
Your insecurity was the death of you and me (Oh)

[Pre-Chorus:]
Too many times you questioned what were my intentions (Ooh, yeah)
I never gave you reasons, you're the one with secrets

[Chorus:]
I don't need somebody to hold me (Oh no)
Don't need somebody to love me (Oh yeah)
Don't need somebody to pick these pieces up (Pick these pieces up)
I put together my broken
Let go of the pain I've been holdin'
Don't need to need somebody (Don't need, I don't need)
When I got me

[Post-Chorus:]
(When I got, when I got, when I got me)
When I got me
(When I got, when I got, when I got me)
Yeah, yeah, when I got me

[Bridge:]
I bet you feel the absence of my love every night (Ooh, ooh)
There's no one else, you are the reason I said goodbye

[Chorus:]
'Cause I don't need somebody to scold me
Don't need somebody that hurts me
Don't need somebody who feels weak standin' next to me
I put together my broken
Let go of your hand I've been holdin' (Let go)
Don't need to need somebody
When I got me

[Post-Chorus:]
(When I got, when I got, when I got me)
When I got me
(When I got, when I got, when I got me)
Yeah
