David Sharkey - I Don't Need You Lyrics

Tell me what you think you would be without me
Something makes me think you think you would be so free
But in reality you'd be so lost
You'd be so lost without me
You would be so very lost at sea
You would be so very lost at sea
You try to reel me in
You keep testing me
But I'm strong, punk
You lack confidence
That old feeling won't get the best of me
Don't be surprised
It's not happenstance
Ain't got a hold of me
And it wouldn't be tough to break free
It's no test of strength
You've quite the appetite
But I won't be the host to your parasite
So, just tell me what you think you would be without me
Something makes me think you think you would be so free
But in reality you'd be so lost
You'd be so lost without me
You would be so very lost at sea
I don't need you
You need me more than you think you do
Because you need what I got to get through
And I don't even want you
But you keep coming back, so I front you
Pay up now, puppet, you're past due
If you want to get lost in hell
You've got to love yourself
The way that I do
Which one of us was it at the wheel last night
Thoughts don't come and go without attacking
I know you were hoping that I would put up a fight
But that would require fire I am lacking
My soul is being pulled apart as far as I can tell
In three directions, at least two lead straight to hell
I know you wish you could find a way to love yourself
I do too, I wish you well
I wish you well, but
I don't need you
You need me more than you think you do
Because you need what I got to get through
And I don't even want you
But you keep coming back, so I front you
Pay up now, master, you're past due
Pay up now before I hurt you
If you want to climb your way out of hell
You've got to love yourself
Ever so gently
For those who make peace with themselves
Will be free from that hell
For forever completely
