Song for E
Julian & Roman Wasserfuhr Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

A cloudy morning on the onset of September
I'm starting to make a rhythm of which I will remember
They say you need to find someone to love that isn't you
But after years of being lonely, I can say that that's not true
You don't need to find someone to keep on going
You don't need to find someone to make your life worth living through
Keep being who you are, love yourself and you'll go far
To be happy, you're all you need

You don't need to find someone else to love
It's cool if you can say that you've found someone that you hold dear
But it's not at all required, don't give into that fear
It's sometimes hard to love yourself and all that you do
But change can happen rapidly if you accept yourself for you
You don't need to find someone to keep on going
You don't need to find someone to make your life worth living through
Keep being who you are, love yourself and you'll go far
To be happy, you're all you need
You don't need to find someone else to love
Well I bet you can find that love within yourself
Look past your flaws, everybody's got some
And I know you can find that love within yourself
Look hard enough and realize the potential for the love within yourself
You don't need to find someone to keep on going
You don't need to find someone to make your life worth living through
Keep being who you are, love yourself and you'll go far
To be happy, you're all you need
You don't need to find someone else to love
You don't need to find someone to keep on going
You don't need to find someone to make your life worth living through
Keep being who you are, love yourself and you'll go far

To be happy, you're all you need
You don't need to find someone else to love
