I Don't Need You To Survive

(album: This Is About You - 2021)

And now I hate all the songs I wrote about you
Not that they're bad
Just that they're true

I gave you the time of day and
All my nights
You don't deserve the songs I wrote
But it's alright

'Cause you're out of sight
Out of mind
The only you that exists is the one that I left behind
You've really blown it this time
'Cause all I remember of you is the me that turned out just fine
I don't need you to survive

And now I hate that I have to remember you
For so much longer
Than I knew you

I hate that I wanted to give you the stars on the trees
But I forgive the world I built
'Cause it gave me me

Now you're out of sight
Out of mind
The only you that exists is the one that I left behind
You've really blown it this time
'Cause all I remember of you is the me that turned out just fine
I don't need you to survive

I don't need you to survive
