Grace Potter And The Nocturnals - Things I Never Needed Lyrics






Take a long hard look at my face
Take away the things I can't replace
Take my heart, go on take it away
I've got nothing to say

Take away this sense of regret
Take the things I need to forget
Take the mistakes I haven't made yet
They're all I have left

I don't want to be the one who lets you down
All I did was run myself around
I wish I could have seen through your eyes
Maybe then I would have realized
I'm the only one who's bleeding
For the things I never needed
The things I never needed

Take a good long look at yourself
Take the weight off everyone else
Take the hardest blow that was dealt
It's all on your shoulders

I don't want to be the one who lets you down
All I did was run myself around
I wish I could have seen through your eyes
Maybe then I would have realized
I'm the only one who's bleeding
For the things I never needed
The things I never needed

I don't want to be the one who lets you down
All I did was run myself around
I wish I could have seen through your eyes
Maybe then I would have realized
I'm the only one who's bleeding
For the things I never needed
The things I never needed

  1. S.... B....

    still the only right way to do a music video - no fuzz, no crap, just the bloody band on the table !

  2. S.... m....

    There will never be another band like the Nocturnals!!

  3. B.... L....

    Very awesome and beautiful songs

  4. M.... W....

    Take a long hard look at my face
    Take away the things I can't replace
    Take my heart, go on take it away
    I've got nothing to say

    Take away this sense of regret
    Take the things I need to forget
    Take the mistakes I haven't made yet
    They're all I have left

    I don't want to be the one who lets you down
    All I did was run myself around
    I wish I could have seen through your eyes
    Maybe then I would have realized
    I'm the only one who's bleeding
    For the things I never needed
    The things I never needed

    Take a good long look at yourself
    Take the weight off everyone else
    Take the hardest blow that was dealt
    It's all on your shoulders

    I don't want to be the one who lets you down
    All I did was run myself around
    I wish I could have seen through your eyes
    Maybe then I would have realized
    I'm the only one who's bleeding
    For the things I never needed
    The things I never needed

    I don't want to be the one who lets you down
    All I did was run myself around
    I wish I could have seen through your eyes
    Maybe then I would have realized
    I'm the only one who's bleeding
    For the things I never needed
    The things I never needed

  25. W.... D....

    Fantastic.

  26. T.... C....

    Love the lyrics... Grace has a beautiful a voice!

  27. N.... P....

    Whooo, I'm crying. This is so good. Not only is the video so gently visually appealing, it's such a beautiful rendition of this song. And who doesn't like a little harmonica? 

  28. f.... m....

    Awesome !

  29. t.... ....

    I got goosebumps

  30. D.... B....

  31. P.... R....

  32. k.... ....

    WOW! just WOW!

  33. K.... V....

    "This is boring"
    I seriously miss Cat!!!

  34. v.... c....

    Catherine Popper
    She play with Jack White too

  35. K.... F....

    I forgot her name... she played bass for a while. You hear her on the self titled album.

  36. R.... L....

    just lovely :*}

  37. l.... ....

    I agree we need a CD of this stripped down version. ...and along those same lines, part of the beauty of their music is the close relationship they have together. When I read posts of some that suggest that GP would do better to move on and work with more accomplished musicians, I realize they just don't get it. It is this raw talent and relationship that they have which makes their music all the better. So folks leave them alone! enjoy GP and her friends just the way they are.

  38. E.... ....

    Looking forward to seeing them July 8th in Ottawa

  39. M.... ....

    Totally different from a mainstage performance but even more impressive! Thanks and keep up the good work! Grtz., Niek from Holland

  40. J.... W....

    Heaven on Earth.

  41. L.... A....

    Yeah, it's rare these days but it wasn't so rare in the 60's and 70's. It just seemed every darn song on the radio was so incredible and unique.

  42. F.... B....

    Beautiful message.

  43. r.... ....

    an Angel's voice... thanks!

  44. r.... B....

    Just when you think it can't possibly get any better Amazing Grace pulls this one out !

  45. J.... o....

    Been playing music for 25 years and just love the raw talent. This is so damn real. No smoke or lights. Just talent. I also love this song. Pure music. Thank You. There is nothing better than sitting around with fellow musicians and just doing this. No crowds, no expectations and no critics. Love it.

  46. B.... S....

    ...my FAVE song by GPN...harmony, emotion, lyrics...always brings me to the edge of tears. <3 U Grace! :) <3

  47. S.... F....

    she has in my book haha

  48. D.... C....

    This is boring ; )
    I miss Cat

  49. R.... P....

    Seeing her on Monday in Providence, RI!! I am so excited. I have loved Miss Grace for years!

  50. L.... L....

    Wow, this is so great love the music, vocals and how both seem to harmanize. It reminds me of a train in the night as it rolls through my town, sounding it horn as it quietly slips through.

  51. r.... ....

    How has Grace not taken over the planet?

  52. l.... ....

    I love this.. so beautiful

  53. B.... S....

    So inspired by her...in fact this music is helping something break free in my life. Check out my cover of Stars in my videos if so inclined. Although no one does it quite like Grace. ;)

  54. B.... ....

    I Love being heartbroken. I can find songs like these =)

  55. J.... ....

    We really need more this kind of music..

  58. P.... D....

  59. s.... ....

    Please dont ever sell yourself short again by doing a duet with a cut rate artist like chessney. Your music and talent are too food for it

  60. y.... ....

    They are so amazing live. If you ever get a chance you've got to see them!!!

  61. s.... ....

    I'm moved by this song so much I shed a tear everytime I hear Grace sing it. You can feel her soul when she sings. She is amazing.
    Enjoy Life! Keep Jammin!

  72. o.... ....

    Did she or them write this song. It's a fanstastic song and her version with Darrel Hall is out of site.

  73. C.... ....

    I love these acoustic performances in random places! only reason i watch youtube

  74. M.... ....

    I was so thrilled to see Grace Potter and the Nocturnals making it real big. They are bringing back great bluesy Rock and roll. I'm just proud of them not just as a musician but also as a Vermonter. I'm glad to see I'm not the only Vermont artist who knows how to Rock and roll.

  75. G.... B....

    i love grace potters voice.....soooo talented!!!!

  76. c.... ....

    @johnsonjesseguitar One can only hope you are right..
