  • Okay, now, sometimes
    You find yourself in two ways, yeah, yeah, yeah
    Sometimes
    Your love, it feels divided, yeah, mm
    And my answer
    My answer is to pull out
    Your love is like an endless sea
    It won't lead me to anywhere

    But I'm so confused
    Through all the pain and suffering
    You still wanna stay with me
    I'm tired of this crisis

    And I feel like I'm in the dark
    I'm not what you need
    I'm not what you need
    I'm not what you need
    Get away from me
    I'm not what you need
    I'm not what you need
    I'm not what you need, oh

    I need to be alone now, I need to be alone
    Your love is not my lifeline, your love is not my home
    Returning you, you're not mine, to me, you don't belong
    I'm better on my own, you're better when you're gone

    And I'm so confused
    To all the pain and suffering
    You still wanna stay with me (oh yeah)
    I'm done with all this crisis

    And I'm finally out the dark
    I'm not what you need
    I'm not what you need
    I'm not what you need
    Get away from me (I'm not what you need)
    I'm not what you need (I'm not what you need)
    I'm not what you need (I'm not what you need)
    I'm not what you need (I'm not what you need)
    I'm not what you need (I'm not what you need)
    I'm not what you need (I'm not what you need)
    I'm not what you need (I'm not what you need)
    I'm not what you need (I'm not what you need)
    I'm not what you need (I'm not what you need)
    Oh (I'm not what you need)
    I'm not what you need (I'm not what you need)
    Get away from me (I'm not what you need)
    I'm not what you need

    I'm not what you need
    I'm not what you need (I'm not what you need)
    I'm not what you need
    I'm not what you need (I'm not what you need) Writer/s: Ronald Banful, Temilade Openiyi
