I Don't Have To
Sibille Attar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I′d wake up
Hear you leaving the house
So I'd wait up all night
I was just a child then
And I still can′t sleep
Even though I need it and I really do
I respect you for it
I'm out of love
I've had enough
There is no room in my heart for this much
You seem confused
You think I′m cruel
Do you believe
This is easy to do
I don′t have to
I don't have to love you
I don′t
Oh but when you were good
You were the greatest
You'd put on your expensive shoes
And proudly stomp down the streets of that shit city
Oh and I know you tried
And it wasn′t easy
That is clear
You did the best that you could
But I don't have to love you
I′m out of love
I've had enough
There is no room in my heart for this much
You seem confused
You think I'm cruel
Do you believe
This is easy to do
I don′t have to
I don′t have to love you
I don't
I don′t have to
I don't
I don′t have to love you
I don't have to
I don′t have to love you
I'm out of love
I had enough
There is no space in my heart for this much
You seem confused
You think I'm cruel
But believe me
I really thought it through
I′m out of love
I′ve had enough
There is no room in my heart for this much
You seem confused
You think I'm cruel
Do you believe
This is easy to do
I′m out of love
I've had enough
There is no room in my heart for this much
You seem confused
You think I′m cruel
Do you believe
This is easy to do
I'm out of love
I′ve had enough
There is no room in my heart for this much
I'm out of love
I had enough
There is no room in my heart for this much
You seem confused
Do you believe
This is easy to do?
There is no room in my heart for this much
This is easy to do
The song "I Don't Have To" by Sibille Attar speaks of a child watching their parent leave the house every night and waiting up for them, unable to sleep. As the child grows older and goes through the ups and downs of love, they realize they no longer have any love left for their parent. However, the chorus emphasizes that they don't have to love them, implying that it's not a duty of theirs to do so, regardless of who the person is or their relationship. The song acknowledges that while the parent tried their best, it still wasn't enough, and the child has reached a point where they can no longer carry the baggage of the past.
The lyrics showcase the complexity of human emotions and relationships, particularly within the context of familial relationships. It's a reminder that while we're often taught to value family bonds and unconditional love, there are situations where it's not realistic or healthy to continue a relationship at any cost. Sometimes it's better to let go and move on, regardless of what society dictates.

Every night
Every single night without fail
I′d wake up
I would be woken up from my sleep
Hear you leaving the house
I could hear you leaving the house
So I'd wait up all night
I would stay up all night waiting for you
I was just a child then
I was young and innocent at that time
And I still can′t sleep
Even now, I still have trouble sleeping
Even though I need it and I really do
Despite the fact that I desperately need sleep
But I can see what you did
I understand what you had to do
I respect you for it
I have high regard for you for doing it
I'm out of love
I no longer have any love left
I've had enough
I can't take it anymore
There is no room in my heart for this much
My heart is already full and can't take any more
You seem confused
You appear to be unsure
You think I′m cruel
You believe I am unkind
Do you believe
Are you of the opinion
This is easy to do
That this is easy to carry out
I don′t have to
I am not obligated to
I don't have to love you
I am not required to love you
Oh but when you were good
However, when you were good
You were the greatest
You were absolutely amazing
You'd put on your expensive shoes
You would wear your pricey footwear
And proudly stomp down the streets of that shit city
And walk down the streets of that terrible city with pride
Oh and I know you tried
And I understand that you made an effort
And it wasn′t easy
And it was definitely difficult
That is clear
That much is evident
You did the best that you could
You did everything that was within your power
I don't
I do not
I don't have to love you
I am not obligated to love you
I′m out of love
I no longer have any love left
But believe me
However, please trust me
I really thought it through
I have given it a lot of careful consideration
I had enough
I can't take it anymore
You seem confused
You appear to be unsure
There is no space in my heart for this much
My heart is already full and can't take any more
