you hold me steady when I lose my way,

You remind me to breathe, you calm me down, you tell me to stay.

My heart don’t get warm, it’s probably how I’m wired,

Your love’s the peace that I required.

I don’t need space, I need connection,

Baby, you’re my mirror, my lil outer reflection.

[Pre-Chorus :15]

Some say that I am clingin’, but I say no — we are aligned,

They be sayin’ I don’t need him, but bein’ codependent on him is in my design.

[Chorus :40]

I’m so codependent, yes, I’m dependent on your love,

Don’t call it broken, don’t call it broken — it’s just how I’m made up.

You keep my spirit centered, I keep your fire lit up,

We all need somebody — that’s what makes us enough.

[Verse 2 :30]

You see the storm before I even cry,

You speak my peace before I ask why.

I used to think I had to stand alone,

But you taught me strength in the safety zone.

Now I breathe with you in perfect time,

Yeah, my man makes me feel like it’s okay to be co-dependent this time.

Yeah, my man, my man, my man, my man —

He understands that’s just how I’m wired.

[Bridge :25]

And when the world gets loud, you slow my sound,

You lift me higher just by holding me down.

Ain’t no shame in the way I lean on you,

’Cause love’s the thread that pulls us through.

You balance my soul when you say my name,

Two hearts, one rhythm — if I seem codependent, I am not ashamed.

[Final Chorus + Outro :40]

I’m so codependent, yes, I’m dependent on your love,

Don’t call it broken, don’t call it broken — it’s just how I’m made up.

You keep my spirit centered, I keep your fire lit up,

We all need somebody — that’s what makes us enough.

Can’t believe I am somebody, yeah, I’m somebody,

Somebody who depends — if that’s real, I’m not sorry.

If I know one thing, I know how hearts move,

Life is codependent, and it’s built with me and you.

I said it’s built with me and you, me and you,

It takes me and you —

That’s why I’m so codependent,

I’m so codependent on you.
