What You Need Lyrics

You're hypnotized, can't see the signs
I'd like to help you, but I think it's too late
Made up your mind and now you're blind
I guess it's easier than making mistakes

Don't ask me why then roll your eyes at the answer
You want to fight, but I won't bite at the page
And I'ma try and change your eyes to the pain
'Cause I will tell you

So don't tell me what I can see
'Cause we both know it's you, not me
You don't want this but it's what you need
And you'll see it when you believe

You'll see it, you'll see it
You'll see it when you believe
You'll see it, you'll see it
And you'll see it when you believe

Give me a break 'cause I can't take
Another second, you're a fucking headache
I need the time to change your mind
How can I move you when you're stuck in your ways

Don't ask me why then roll your eyes at the answer
You want to fight, but I don't bite on the bait
And I'm not tryin' to change your eyes from the pain
I'm just saying, no I'm just saying

Don't come crawling back to me when you break down
'Cause you dug yourself into this hole all by yourself
Don't come crawling back to me when you break down
You can find somebody else

So don't tell me what I can see
'Cause we both know it's you, not me
You don't want this but it's what you need
And you'll see it when you believe

So don't tell me what I can see
'Cause we both know it's you, not me
You don't want this but it's what you need
And you'll see it when you believe

You'll see it, you'll see it
You'll see it when you believe
You'll see it, you'll see it
And you'll see it when you believe

Yeah, hell yeah
You make me want to slit my wrists and play in my own blood
Yeah, hell yeah
You make me want to kill myself just for the fucking fun
Yeah, hell yeah
You make me want to slit my wrists and play in my own blood
Yeah, hell yeah
You make me want to kill myself just for the fucking fun

So don't tell me what I can't see
'Cause we both know it's you, not me
You don't want this but it's what you need
And you'll see it when you believe
And you'll see it when you believe

What is the Meaning of What You Need?

When tough love meets tougher lyrics, "What You Need" serves as an unapologetic wake-up call wrapped in a rock anthem. The song delves into the gritty reality of watching someone you care about refuse to see the error of their ways. It’s like being the only sober person at a party where everyone else is too drunk on denial. Bring Me the Horizon doesn’t sugarcoat their message; they serve it raw and unfiltered, insisting that sometimes what we least desire is precisely what we need. The repeated line, "You'll see it when you believe," isn't just a catchy hook—it's a stark reminder that realization often comes after acceptance, not before. So crank up the volume and let these hard-hitting truths smack some sense into you—or at least offer a soundtrack while you watch someone else learn the hard way.
