Lyrics

Basic Need

Thought that I knew you
Yes, I really hoped you never knew
I saw you changin'
But I won't let you leave me on my own
I can see through you
Yeah, I can see through you

I'll make it easy to forget
'Cause that's just what I need, I need
But I don't believe
When I say I can forgive, forgive

Well, could you blame me for wantin' to move on from you?
Well, could you blame me for wantin' to move on from you?
Well, could you blame me for wantin' to move on from you?
Well, could you blame me for wantin' to move on from you?

I'll make it easy to forget
'Cause that's just what I need, I need
But I don't believe
When I say I can forgive, forgive
