i dont need you

i'm going away

as far as i possibly can

and you wont find me

you will never ever know

how well and good i am

'cause you don't define me

there's people on this earth who can help me

without using me

there's people on this earth who can love me

without abusing me

i don't need you

like i thought i did

i don't need you

to watch me fall

i don't need you

to make me feel like a lonely kid

i don't need you

at all

we're in the eleventh hour

and i seriously thought that we'd break through

i sat in your kitchen and cried

and underneath my words surged my love for you

i reached out my hand for you daddy

and you just turned your cool blue mind away

it's my birthday and i don't get no well wishes

just a letter that you got some rent you think i ought to pay

i don't need you

like i used to do

i don't need you

to save my soul

i don't need you

to make me feel sad and blue

i don't need you

like i always have

i don't need you

to hope and long for

i don't need you

to make me feel

mean and bad

i don't need you

anymore
