I Don't Love You

(album: Mockingbird - 2015)

Last night I came home
And realized we don't know each other
We've been someday lovers for too long
I came to the conclusion
That both of us are losing
And the time to cut and run has come and gone

Since I'm biting on the bullet
I guess I'll be the one to do it
And break your broken heart one more time
I thought the whole thing over
When I was relatively sober
And these are the words that come to mind

"I don't love you" is too hard to say
And "I don't need you" is a lie
I used to think about you every day
Now you barely even cross my mind

I might take it rough
Knock the dinner off the table
And storm out of the room fighting mad
But I'll just be pretending
No, there's no happy ending
And neither one of us should feel that bad

'Cause "I don't love you" is too hard to say
And "I don't need you" is a lie
I used to think about you every day
Now you barely even cross my mind

Two or three months later
In some hotel elevator
Someone will play our favorite song
And only then I'll realize
That you are gone forever
And all those little things that I did wrong

"I love you" is too hard to say
And "I don't need you" was a lie
I used to think about you every day
Now you're the only thing that's on my mind
