Love Without Needing

I wanna know what makes me
Nature, nurture, all the things I've seen
I am history
Brand new parts to an old machine

I wanna play without cheating
I wanna love without needing
But I just sit in my feelings
Searching for meaning

I wanna love without needing

I love my pain
It makes life so easy to explain
Now you can't blame me
For all the things I don't achieve

Getting told I'm a wild one
Getting old but I live young
I put my life in a handgun
Fuck a reason, I don't need one

I wanna love without needing
I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna know
I wanna love without needing

I wanna go where the wind takes me
Family telling me I could be anything
I can just be me
But I'm just not that interesting

I wanna play without cheating
I wanna love without needing
But I just sit in my feelings
Searching for meaning

I wanna love without needing
I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna know
I wanna love without needing

I wanna understand the life I'm living
What it is and what it isn't
What to do with what I'm given
What I could have done and didn't

I don't trust a soul that tells me they have no regrets
It's a lie and why deny the chance to learn from it?

I wanna love without needing
I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna know
I wanna love without needing
