I Don’t Need You

I lived my truth

Still feel every bruise

Heart swallowed every word

Thrown at me in anger

I don’t need you

To tell me who

I am to you

Or what he is too

Take his truth

At face value

I don’t need him

I don’t need you

I lived it through

I don’t need you

Or your opinions of

What you think is true

My fear was real

My panic too

My tears every night

Never had a chance to heal

Freezing outside

Left alone that night

But yet you believe

I’m the one who lied

I don’t need you

To tell me who

I am to you

Or what he is too

Take his truth

At face value

I don’t need him

I don’t need you

I lived it through

I don’t need you

Or your opinions of

What you think is true

He changed you say

Yeah I always wanted that too

Be a different man

Than the one who made me pay

But you will never know

What happened behind closed doors

Because that’s mine to hold

And mine to let go

I don’t need you

To tell me who

I am to you

Or what he is too

Take his truth

At face value

I don’t need him

I don’t need you

I lived it through

I don’t need you

Or your opinions of

What you think is true

You can have him girl

He is no longer part of my world

I found a life

That doesn’t need

Any of this strife

It’s my life

It’s my own

My life my home

It’s my life
