I Don't Need You Now - The Mr. T Experience

There was a time when I thought I would die

Every time I thought of you, I’d cry

And think myself into a state

And drink myself to sleep too late

But what was pulling us and me apart

Was only breaking in my broken heart

Now it’s controlled again, on hold again

And more broken in than it’s ever been

So I don’t need you now

I can’t believe how I ever wondered how

I’d ever make it without you, thinking about you

But I don’t need you now

There was a time when I thought I should try

To make myself hate you to get by

It wasn’t hard to do, to think of you

And all the things you put me through

But now I’ve had some time to contemplate

And I’ve discovered other things to hate

There’s still bitterness I can’t resist

But you’re moving to the bottom of a pretty long list

So I don’t hate you now

And I don’t even want to checkmate you now

I still don’t like how much you don’t want me to touch you

But I don’t hate you now

And if I’m crying

Well what did you expect?

I’ve been trying

But I still don’t know how not to be a wreck

And though I’m still aware you’re still out there

Still busy breaking someone’s heart somewhere

And though to you it’s nothing new

For once I’ve got no explaining to do

Cause I don’t know you now

And I don’t have anything to show you now

Except for all of these apologies

That I don’t owe you now

I don’t need you

I don’t need you

I don’t need you

I don’t need you

I don’t need you

I don’t need you

Think it’s weird how much you

Don’t want me to touch you

But I don’t need you now
