Oh I Don’t

Verse 1

I don’t need you to tell me what to do,

I got the mind of a girl who’s breaking through,

Hopin’ for more than the lies you sold,

I see the truth now, let it be told.

Nothing can stop me now, I know my ground,

I hear my heart when it’s the loudest sound,

Clingin’ to hope, yeah I tried so long,

But tell me—how could you prove me wrong?

Pre-Chorus

How can you take it all away?

Every word I couldn’t say,

Can you tell me what I’m supposed to feel

When everything we had wasn’t real?

Chorus

But I don’t, I don’t—

Hope for the best to come back again,

You can pack all your bags, leave me alone,

There’s nothing left for us to understand.

Oh, I don’t, I don’t—

Try to save what you already broke,

I’m done waiting in the dark for you,

I finally let you go.

Verse 2

You were a useless human to me,

Not in anger—just what I see,

How do you break a heart so clean

When I gave you everything?

I poured my love into your hands,

You dropped it like it meant nothing, man,

Now you’re asking me to stay the same

While you walk away from the blame.

Pre-Chorus

You call it love, I call it pain,

You call it fate, I call it chains,

I tried to see you clearly through the smoke

But every promise turned to smoke.

Chorus

Oh, I don’t, I don’t—

Need you standing next to me,

I can stand on my own just fine,

Without your doubt haunting me.

Oh, I don’t, I don’t—

Believe a word you say,

You’re hopeless, tragic, nothing to me,

I survived you anyway.

Bridge

All these years you played me slow,

Every truth I had to know,

All I did was try to understand

Someone who never took my hand.

Now I’m brave enough to walk away

From this hopeless dream we made,

There’s nothing left for me to prove,

Nothing left for us to undo.

Break / Soft Chorus

Oh, I don’t… I don’t…

Miss the way you made me small,

I don’t… I don’t…

Need you at all.

Final Chorus

Oh, I don’t, I don’t—

Hope you’ll change or come back home,

I found my strength, I found my voice,

I’m better off alone.

Oh, I don’t, I don’t—

Carry your weight anymore,

This is me walking out clean and free,

Closing that door.

Outro

I don’t need you to tell me who to be,

I already found the best of me.
