If You Need Me, Don't
Freedom's Echo: Meghan Linsey's Anthem of Liberation
Lyrics
There was a time
Reflecting on a past period
Back when you were mine
Recalling a time when the listener was in a romantic relationship
And I was yours, doll
Expressing a sense of intimacy and connection
Now it feels like a crime
Describing the current emotional burden
That you knew the whole time
Suggesting the partner was aware of the consequences
You were making me fall
Accusing the partner of intentionally causing emotional attachment
I gave it all to ya
Conveying complete emotional investment
Thought you were my future
Mistakenly believing the partner was the future
But baby I was wrong
Realizing the mistake of trusting the partner
So, If you got some questions
Offering to address any questions
I'll leave the directions
Providing guidance within the lyrics
Right here in this song
Confirming the guidance is embedded in the song
If you need me, don't
Declining availability if the partner needs assistance
If you want me, no
Rejecting the idea of being wanted
If you're sitting at home
Discouraging reaching out from a home setting
Wanna pick up the phone
Advising against making a call
Best just leave me alone
Emphasizing the preference for solitude
If you need me, don't
Reiterating the unavailability for help
Remember when we burned together
Nostalgia for shared experiences
Yeah, we were twin flames
Describing the past relationship as intense and passionate
Two birds of a feather
Portraying the partners as similar and confined
Flying around in a golden cage
Metaphorically describing the relationship as restrictive
But now that I'm free
Expressing freedom after the relationship
I can see everything
Gaining a new perspective on life
Yeah, It's a new day
Highlighting a positive change in circumstances
Hey, I'm up, and I'm stuck
Being awake and not willing to revert to the past
And I ain't trying to go back
Rejecting the idea of returning to a previous state
The other way
Insisting on moving forward
If you need me, don't
Repeating the unavailability for assistance
If you want me, no
Declining the desire to be wanted
If you're sitting at home
Advising against reaching out from home
Wanna pick up the phone
Discouraging making a phone call
Best just leave me alone
Reiterating the preference for solitude
If you need me, don't
Emphasizing the unavailability for help
If you need me, don't
Repeating the decline to assist
If you want me
Rejecting the idea of being needed
Just say no
Encouraging a straightforward refusal
If you're sitting at home
Advising against reaching out from home again
Wanna pick up the phone
Discouraging making a phone call again
Best just leave me alone
Emphasizing the preference for solitude again
If you need me, don't
Reiterating the unavailability for help again
If you need me
Restating the refusal to assist
Don't call me, no
Declining any form of contact
If you want me, no
Rejecting the idea of being wanted again
Just say no
Encouraging a straightforward refusal again
If you're sitting at home
Advising against reaching out from home once more
Wanna pick up the phone
Discouraging making a phone call once more
Best just leave me alone
Emphasizing the preference for solitude once more
If you need me, don't
Reiterating the unavailability for help once more
