| There was a time when I thought I would die
|
| Every time I thought of you, I’d cry
|
| And think myself into a state
|
| And drink myself to sleep too late
|
| But what was pulling us and me apart
|
| Was only breaking in my broken heart
|
| Now it’s controlled again, on hold again
|
| And more broken in than it’s ever been
|
| So I don’t need you now
|
| I can’t believe how I ever wondered how
|
| I’d ever make it without you, thinking about you
|
| But I don’t need you now
|
| There was a time when I thought I should try
|
| To make myself hate you to get by
|
| It wasn’t hard to do, to think of you
|
| And all the things you put me through
|
| But now I’ve had some time to contemplate
|
| And I’ve discovered other things to hate
|
| There’s still bitterness I can’t resist
|
| But you’re moving to the bottom of a pretty long list
|
| So I don’t hate you now
|
| And I don’t even want to checkmate you now
|
| I still don’t like how much you don’t want me to touch you
|
| But I don’t hate you now
|
| And if I’m crying
|
| Well what did you expect?
|
| I’ve been trying
|
| But I still don’t know how not to be a wreck
|
| And though I’m still aware you’re still out there
|
| Still busy breaking someone’s heart somewhere
|
| And though to you it’s nothing new
|
| For once I’ve got no explaining to do
|
| Cause I don’t know you now
|
| And I don’t have anything to show you now
|
| Except for all of these apologies
|
| That I don’t owe you now
|
| I don’t need you
|
| I don’t need you
|
| I don’t need you
|
| I don’t need you
|
| I don’t need you
|
| I don’t need you
|
| Think it’s weird how much you
|
| Don’t want me to touch you
|
| But I don’t need you now |
