I Always Thought

This is a song that I just wrote. It's my favorite because it shows that I don't need a guy to be my shining armor. For once, I don't write about wanting something I can't have, I finally write about being just me and needing just me. This about not needing a guy to complete me.

I Always Thought

He's hurt me
Yet he doesn't know it
I'm crying
Yet he won't see the tears
I feel like dying but I'm gonna pull through
'Cause truth be told
I don't need you

I always thought
That I needed to be complete
I always thought
That you'd complete me
I always thought
I couldn't live without you
But guess what...

I don't need anything
All I need is just me
And I've already got that
You could tell me to cry but I won't shed a tear
You could tell me to die but I won't do what you tell me to
I don't take orders from nobody
The only person who orders me around is me

I couldn't do anything for myself
I was dependent on everybody else
but that will change right now

I always thought
That I needed to be complete
I always thought
That you'd complete me
I always thought
I couldn't live without you
But guess what...

I don't need anything
All I need is just me
And I've already got that
You could tell me to cry but I won't shed a tear
You could tell me to die but I won't do what you tell me to
I don't take orders from nobody
The only person who orders me around is me

I could never fight for myself
I always let them win
I could never handle it
I would just run
But I'm not going anywhere because

I always thought
That I needed to be complete
I always thought
That you'd complete me
I always thought
I couldn't live without you
But guess what...

I don't need anything
All I need is just me
And I've already got that
You could tell me to cry but I won't shed a tear
You could tell me to die but I won't do what you tell me to
I don't take orders from nobody
The only person who orders me around is me

I'd always shy away from anyone who got too close
Whenever it got tough
I'd give up my hope
But now my dreams are not just dreams
They're the future because

I always thought
That I needed to be complete
I always thought
That you'd complete me
I always thought
I couldn't live without you
But guess what...

I don't need anything
All I need is just me
And I've already got that
You could tell me to cry but I won't shed a tear
You could tell me to die but I won't do what you tell me to
I don't take orders from nobody
The only person who orders me around is me

I always thought
That I needed to be complete
A jigsaw puzzle needing the missing piece
But now I know it's always been complete
I've always been complete
