I don’t want you anymore
Your hair has greyed
Your body is rounder
Your youth has run out

I don’t want you anymore
You don’t help me
You are lazy, ungrateful
You are preoccupied

I don’t want you anymore
You’re no partner to me
You’re a pet to take care of
You’re a burden

I don’t want you anymore
I did for so long
I can’t remember why
I know why I stopped

I don’t want you anymore
Like you, I have other priorities
Like you can’t be bothered
Like you, who let go first

I don’t want you anymore
I know you don’t care
I know you don’t notice
I know you will be fine

I don’t want you anymore
So don’t come back
So don’t wait around
So don’t you dare touch me

I don’t want you anymore
And I tell myself again
And again and again
And I almost believe it
