I never needed you
(I never knew I needed you)
Your skin is so untouchable
(I miss the way its softness felt)
Your voice is like a brick
(I'd build a hundred walls with it)
It's heavy and unclean
(I loved all that you said to me)
You were a waste of time
(An occupancy so divine)
You were a waste of space
(A grand addition to this place)
Your taste is in my mouth
(I never want to wash it out)
Your fist is in my heart
(Just take it out for a restart)
I never needed you
(I never knew I needed you)
I never needed anything from you
(I needed everything from you)
I never needed you
(I never knew I needed you)
You made the bad times worse
(I needed you so I could learn)
Your eyes are black decay
(I think about them every day)
Your hands are cracked and bruised
(They're a pair that I could use)
You slandered, scoffed, and swore
(You're different than the ones before)
You hated all my friends
(I wasn't waiting for the end)
You'll be erased from time
(I will not get you off my mind)
I wish that you were dead
(I still see you inside my head)
I never needed you
(I never knew I needed you)
I never needed anything from you
(I needed everything from you)
You've taken everything
(It's all a gift to you from me)
I've lost all hope in life
(You made everything all right)
I never needed you
(I never knew I needed you)
You were a heart attack
(Oh please I need you to come back)
I never needed you
(I never knew I needed you)
I never needed anything from you
(I needed everything from you)
