Craving more attention and love tonight.
Say "goodnight" when it's 2am.
Don't wanna say goodbye to the way you shine.
Show me that I matter by saying hi.
Don't ignore my texts asking questions.
You may have a life,
but you can't get away from me forever.
I'll get all needy and greedy,
and I'm sorry, but that is who I am....
I used to call that person constantly
to the point where it got toxic.
Got annoying, I became a bad friend,
so I changed myself for the better.
But I still am craving for
attention and affection tonight.
If I get none of that, than maybe I'll
sleep knowing you're better off without me.
I'm sorry that I'm needy and greedy
for you to remember all the good times.
I know how to brush it off like a story,
but deep down inside it still breaks me.
And when it's time to say goodnight,
it's like you were only there because you could.
Free up your schedule-
what's up with your world?
I'm greedy for you to say hi tonight.
We go months without communication.
Tell me if you still wonder how I am.
I'm greedy for attention, not your money.
It's alright if you don't got candy on you.
Just look me dead in the eye
and say, "everything will be okay."
Greed for people to look out for me.
I need to look out for myself.
Self-love ain't narcissistic-
in fact, it's the key to true happiness.
I can't rely on you anymore.
Greed for all of this affection
has blinded me from what's truly right.
I'm sorry.
I like to remember all the best of things.
We can could be better friends tonight.
I'll try to not be as greedy for anyone,
because all I need is me.
I don't need any affection tonight.
Say "goodnight" when it's 12am.
Although it's time to say goodnight
to the way you shine,
it wouldn't hurt to say I matter.
