I don't need you to tell me
Everything will be alright.
I learnt years ago,
This is a battle,
And I will fight.

I don't need you to stitch me up,
I can do it on my own.
I'm not who I was years ago,
When you had to tend my wounds -
I have long since grown.

I don't need you to hold me
Or even talk me down.
I outgrew that offer years ago,
When I still had some innocence,
When I thought you'd stick around.

I don't need you, I don't need anyone.
I've told you a billion times.
You should have tried this years ago,
And I might have changed my mind.

Talk to me when I'm lifeless,
When I'm cold and with my teeth grit.
Yes I needed your stupid help,
Why did I ever need to say it?
