Feelings
Embracing Independence: Erica Padilla's 'Feelings' Unveils the Power of Self-Preservation
Lyrics
I don't need the expectation of revolving my time and patience 'round what you need
I don't want to invest my time and patience in meeting your expectations.
And I don't need the imitation of what it feels like to mean something to somebody
I don't want a fake version of feeling important to someone; I want genuine connection.
'Cause I don't wanna be stuck hoping that I'm enough
I don't want to hope constantly that I am good enough for you.
You're better off with someone that gives you all that you want
You would be happier with someone who can provide everything you desire.
It's easier to feel numb just to protect my own heart
To avoid heartache, I prefer to numb my emotions.
For my own sake and I can't handle being swept up in your storm
I can't handle getting deeply involved in the emotional chaos you bring.
I don't need, I don't need feelings
I don't need to experience emotions.
I get caught up and keep dreaming
I often get entangled in my dreams and imagination.
Maybe I'm too scared of falling in love and losing part of myself again
Fearful of falling in love and losing myself as I did before.
I don't need someone to hold me
I don't require someone to provide physical comfort.
Even through nights when I can't sleep
Even during sleepless nights, I prefer not to be comforted.
'Cause I don't wanna take the risk
I'm unwilling to take the risk of desiring your touch and kiss.
Of craving your touch and your kiss
Avoiding the temptation of wanting intimacy with you.
No I don't need feelings
I don't want to engage in emotional attachments.
No I don't need feelings
Reiterating the rejection of emotions.
Think you know me and all my secrets but it takes a lot for me too let my guard down
People may think they know me, but I guard my secrets closely.
Can't let this get too deep 'cause I'll get lost in it
Fearing the consequences of getting too emotionally involved.
Didn't mean for us to let it get so far
We didn't intend for things to escalate this much.
I don't need, I don't need feelings
Repeating the rejection of needing emotions.
I get caught up and keep dreaming
Continuing the pattern of getting lost in dreams and imagination.
Maybe I'm too scared of falling in love and losing part of myself again
Repeating the fear of falling in love and losing oneself.
I don't need someone to hold me
Emphasizing the lack of need for physical comfort.
Even through nights when I can't sleep
Even during sleepless nights, I prefer not to be comforted (repeated idea).
'Cause I don't wanna take the risk
Reiterating the unwillingness to take the risk of desiring intimacy.
Of craving your touch and your kiss
Repeating the aversion to craving physical connection.
No I don't need feelings
Declaring once again the lack of desire for emotions.
No I don't need feelings
Restating the rejection of emotions.
I don't need, I don't need feelings
Repeating the declaration of not needing emotions.
I get caught up and keep dreaming
Continuing the pattern of getting lost in dreams and imagination (repeated idea).
Maybe I'm too scared of falling in love and losing part of myself again
Repeating the fear of falling in love and losing oneself (repeated idea).
I don't need someone to hold me
Emphasizing the lack of need for physical comfort (repeated idea).
Even through nights when I can't sleep
Even during sleepless nights, I prefer not to be comforted (repeated idea).
'Cause I don't wanna take the risk
Reiterating the unwillingness to take the risk of desiring intimacy (repeated idea).
Of craving your touch and your kiss
Repeating the aversion to craving physical connection (repeated idea).
No I don't need feelings
Declaring once again the lack of desire for emotions (repeated idea).
No I don't need feelings
Restating the rejection of emotions (repeated idea).
I don't need feelings
Repeating the declaration of not needing emotions (repeated idea).
No I don't need feelings
Final repetition of the affirmation of not needing emotions.
