I hold conversations with the walls
At least they listen
And they do not criticize
In my beliefs
Or what I say
Sometimes I go walking in the rain
It hides the sorrows
And I pray the tears of the angels
Can wash my pain away
But I don't need you
To tell me it's raining
And I don't need you
To tell me to be strong
I don't want you
To think that I'm complaining
But I don't think
You'll ever see things from the other side
Sometimes I talk to myself
At least I'm keeping company
With my three best and only friends
Of I, myself and me
At times I may cause a scene
When I fuss and argue
But at least I can't walk out one me
As others often do
And I don't need you
To say that you feel sorry for me
And I don't need you
And your sympathetic smile
I don't want you
To think that I'm angry with you
But I don't think
You'll ever see things from the other side
Once I wrote to keep in touch
With a valued friend
But the walls that we created
Have brought us to end
So I had to let you go
At least I kept some pride
And I've stopped sending you these letters
From the other side
And I don't need you
At least that's what I'll say if you ask
The truth is
I need you just to smile
But I won't tell you
Instead I'll set you free to live your own life
So go your own way
And I'll stay forever, on the other side
