I Don't Need

I don't need the things that you can give to me.
I need the things you can't offer, you see.
I wish you could just changed but it wouldn't be the same.
You continue to play your little game.

I don't need all of your lies.
I don't want to hear all of those alibies.
I'm sick if having to say I'm sorry
For things that are so meaningless.

I don't need you to calm me down,
I hated you never being around.
I know you couldn't control it,
But you never did even attempt to try.

I don't need a lot of things I have in life.
But one of these above all I've realized,
The one thing that I do not need in life,
Is finally gone, and it was you.
