Not What I Need by Capitol Affair Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Up all night 'cause I can't sleep
I wonder do you think of me?
We're testing our limits, but you just want more
Working at this endlessly
Is it really meant to be?
You question my motives, it's you I adore
[Pre-Chorus]
Second guessing, overstepping
Everything I'm needing from you
[Chorus]
Picking petals off of daisies 'cause you're hiding the truth
You ask for roses, but the thorns cut deep, keep bleeding for you
But I could tell you that the sky is blue, you'd argue it's green
You're what I want, but not what I need
Not what I need
[Verse 2]
Contradictions in my reach
Change the thoughts subconsciously
Convincing my mind to believe what it wants
We've recognised a chemistry
A danger in this remedy
We're craving this notion but you won't conform
[Chorus]
Picking petals off of daisies cause you're hiding the truth
You ask for roses but the thorns cut deep, keep bleeding for you
And I could tell you that the sky is blue, you'd argue it's green
I'd give my all for you but would you do the same for me?
Don't act like, you're compelled
Try to find, in yourself
The reason why you'd even bother to pursue this with me
You're what I want, but not what I need
Not what I need
Not what I need
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Second guessing, overstepping
Lies perfected, disconnected
Lacking substance, self-indulgent
Everything I'm needing from you
[Chorus]
Picking petals off of daisies cause you're hiding the truth
You ask for roses but the thorns cut deep, keep bleeding for you
And I could tell you that the sky is blue, you'd argue it's green
I'd give my all for you but would you do the same for me?
Don't act like, you're compelled
Try to find, in yourself
The reason why you'd even bother to pursue this with me
You're what I want, but not what I need
Not what I need
Not what I need
Up all night 'cause I can't sleep
I wonder do you think of me?
We're testing our limits, but you just want more
Working at this endlessly
Is it really meant to be?
You question my motives, it's you I adore
[Pre-Chorus]
Second guessing, overstepping
Everything I'm needing from you
[Chorus]
Picking petals off of daisies 'cause you're hiding the truth
You ask for roses, but the thorns cut deep, keep bleeding for you
But I could tell you that the sky is blue, you'd argue it's green
You're what I want, but not what I need
Not what I need
[Verse 2]

Not what I need
Not what I need
