I don't want you to go
I was too afraid for me
Gotta let you know

Overall Meaning

In the song "What You Need," Benny.Love expresses his fear of losing someone special and his desperate attempt to convince them to stay with him. The repetition of the line "I don't want you to go" emphasizes his anxiety and uncertainty. He admits that his fear is selfish, as he is more concerned about losing the person for himself than their own happiness. Despite this, he still feels the need to let them know how he feels and tries to persuade them by stating that what they need is him.


The chorus acts as a mantra for Benny.Love, as he repeatedly urges the person to stay with him while at the same time acknowledging that he might have to let them go. The lyrics capture the emotional turmoil one faces when trying to hold onto someone who may no longer feel the same way. In the end, the decision ultimately lies with the other person, and Benny.Love accepts this by stating that he "gotta let [them] go" if that's what is best for them.
