You, Not Me

I needed you
at least I thought I did
you were my escape
but I felt trapped
how was I to know
you were killing me quickly 
when you first kept me alive
but then you let me flatline 
how could you let me die
but only part of me died
it was the part that needed you
thinking you were the cure
now is my opportunity 
my moment 
and you can't take it away 
even though you've tried
I needed you 
at least I thought I did 
some say the truth hurts
and they're right
but the truth was the cure
I never needed you
you needed me
