    Natural. He sings like he speaks... a pleasure to listen a vocalist who doesn't try too hard.

    This song resonates with anyone who loved someone and wanted to stay a part of that person's life even though they realized they would never be together.

      When I first heard this song I thought it was a lovely sing about loving someone. I niw realize just how sad this song actually is, being about someone trying to convince another that the singer loving them should be enough even if they don't live them back. It's a lovely song, but so heart breaking at the same time. It's honestly quite sad how the character if Lucas clings to Beth, thinking he wants a life with her, and she ends up having an abortion instead. At least we saw his character end up happy in the other timeline.

    I love the idea that the whole time he is saying "You don't need to love me" you assume that this is going to be a mutual thing, but then at the end they switch it up on you, and you realize he is saying all of these things because he does love her. That is music theatre at its best right there.

    The first time I heard this at about age 21, I loved the message behind the song and found it wonderfully angsty. I played it for my older sister and she said it was really sad, which I just didn’t understand. Ten years later, it’s still lovely, but I now understand her perspective. It would be really awful to willingly go into a relationship knowing that the other person will never be able to return your love.

    You Don't Need To Love Me
    You don’t need to love me
    Or tell me that you do
    Don’t make me any promises
    Just promise we’re not through
    Don’t give me one damn thing
    I won’t let you call this greed
    Just let me give to you
    That’s the only thing I need
    I know that this can work
    If you plant one simple seed
    You’d see it grow
    You don’t need to love me to know
    You don’t need to need me
    It’s better that you don’t
    If each of us can walk away
    It won’t matter that I won’t
    We’ll both be self-contained
    But together, not alone
    You can keep me in the dark
    Hell, it’s all I’ve ever known
    But we both could use a friend
    Who will always check the phone
    And take the call
    You don’t need to need me at all
    Let me be your emergency contact
    Your occasional plus one
    Your excuse to take a sick day
    When the forecast calls for sun
    We can keep on being lonely
    But we don’t have to be apart
    And I’ll never even ask you
    To let me have your heart
    So I’ll never break your heart
    No, I’ll never break your heart
    You don’t need to love me
    To let me help you through
    You don’t need to confide in me
    I’ve got crap enough for two
    You don’t need to answer
    I’ll know before you do
    But hear me
    And believe me
    That you don’t need to love me
    The way that I love you
