\nI don’t need you to feign attention, I think we’re well past that.
\nI don’t need you to take out the garbage, I can take myself out just fine.
\nAnd I don’t need you to tell me everything will be alright.<\/p>\n
The lies we tell ourselves in mixed company,
\nare the lies we feel obligated to keep.<\/p>\n
I don’t need you to feel bad about it, that doesn’t help me out much.
\nI don’t need you to take the blame, who cares about that now?
\nI don’t need you to check up on me, you know damn well how I am.
