I don't need u
6obby Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lock my room, I′m a mess, need to get out my bed
Leaving my house 'cause I′m stuck in my head
I'm not gonna do it to myself all again
[?] myself and I can't live with regrets
Stay by myself ′cause I know what your love does
Don′t care if you love me 'cause you broke all my trust
I don′t think I need you and now I don't want you
Don′t hit me up when you're sleeping it haunts you

I′d rather do this by myself than have you [?]
Looking for what's best for me and I know that it isn't you
Don′t sit here and lie to me when you know that I know the truth

So fuck all this stress, pull the knife out my back
I choose to walk instead of dragging my head
Got out the house ′cause I felt so locked away
Smoking a blunt, I smoke it just for the taste
Baby, you hurt me, no, you don't deserve me
You knew what I′d been through and put me through worse things
I'm tired of your lies, the color of your eyes
I know no one′s perfect but I gave all I got

Ooh, and how you gonna claim you care
Keep on saying that you love me but was never there
Keep on saying that you're sorry but I just don′t care
Now saying that you're sorry but I just don't care

Yeah, you got me stressed out, I′m crossing the line now
Where you call my phone, steady press on decline now
Won′t give you attention, won't give satisfaction
Climbing to the top, don′t need another who's lacking
No, I don′t need you, I'm better without you
Should′ve known from the start that I'll be better without you
This love is toxic and nothing was cosmic
You say you can fix this but that shit is just nonsense

'Cause this is never gonna work
I′m never gonna talk to you again, yeah
Never, ever get my time again, yeah
You′ll never, ever get my time again, yeah

Oh, no I don't need you
No I don′t need you
No I don't need you
No I don′t need you
No I don't need you
No I don′t need you
No I don't need you
No I don't need you

I′m never gonna talk to you again




I′m never gonna think about you
I'm never gonna stress about you, yeah
