[Intro]
I don't need you
[Verse 1]
Making you food while you're making me cry
Shut off the bulb, I want firelight
Say you hate my face so I feel something
Drag me back to the wine and dine
We wouldn't sleep til a quarter to five
It's scary, how it's all come down to nothing
[Pre-Chorus]
So why are we here? Why aren't we leaving?
It's cruel but it's clear we've both given up on believing
[Chorus]
I don't need you, I just love you
If you don't like that, well you don't have to
Cause I don't need you, it's been lovely
But I can read you and you don't love me
So I don't need you
[Verse 2]
Make up the bed while you make up a lie
Break up at breakfast, wanna hit you but I'm holding a knife
So I choke it til my knuckles are white
Take a bath and I'll take you back
Hour and a half for you to clean up your act
You dropped your gun on the ground, you're just a man in a towel
I've got you all figured out
[Pre-Chorus]
So why are we here if love ain't the reason?
We're so insincere, we know the hardest part is the leaving
[Chorus]
And I don't need you, I just love you
If you don't like that, well you don't have to
Cause I don't need you, it's been lovely
But I can read you and you don't love me
So I don't need you
[Spoken Interlude]
"Umm, yeah, I don't really know what else to say about it
I just thought I wouldn't care as much like after it happened I was kind of
Like after we broke up, I was busy with summer and everything
And like with my friends all the time and then I think once everyone had gone back to uni
It just sort of hit me because I would've spent all that time with you
When I was by myself at all
And then you've gone and made this whole new friendship group and got so many friends
And you're seeing this girl who doesn't really seem like me
Which I don't know if it makes it worse or better"
[Bridge]
Go to sleep, and if you wake up to a body that's not mine
I guess I wandered off in dreams to find a meaning to this life
I left my shoes at home, last-minute hope
I'd feel something, I might just end up skin and bone
At least I won't be walking home tonight
I bit the bullet, barely noticed but I broke all my front teeth
I'll never smile again, and I'll pretend that I'm still seventeen
Now I'm a part of something smaller than I ever thought I'd be
And I'm pretty sure I love you but I'm pretty sure that love's not all I need
[Spoken Outro]
"Umm, yeah, it's just a lot to take in
That is just how I'm feeling and that is you know
Honesty hour
Yeah, I don't know"
