lyrics

There you are, I was doing so well.
'Been living by a don't ask/don't tell philosophy,
then I found you at the bottom of this bottle again.
Now, I'm so gone, and it's been so long.
I said that only one of us could move ahead but I knew it wouldn't be me.

You took everything I had.
I thought that if I stayed away you'd give 'em back,
but I'm still just as lost in the head as when you first walked away.

So, find a place where you can lay your head and feel so comfortable.
I knew that you were gone when you stopped calling seven months ago.
Since, I've found myself behaving reckless and out of control but,
now I think I'm ready to tell you;

I never wanna see your face again.
I'm not sorry for a single thing that I did, and
if you're trynna call me when I'm by myself at the crib,
you can bet I won't be picking up my cell phone a bit.

I don't need you, and I never did.
I don't want you, taste your own medicine.
I don't need you.
I don't need you.
I don't need you.

It feels so good to finally say that.
Let it sink in, run it back when you play that.
When I was trying to be positive,
you would tell me where you are and how far it is.
Now, I finally know what you meant by that:
you didn't care enough or even wanna try that.
Now, it's too damn late for you to change your mind
and I sure as hell won't change mine.
