I Don't Need You

I don’t need you

You make me want to scream

I’m not going to break down

And show you my pain

It won’t make you stay

Just get out of my face

I want to clear you away

Taking you out of my heart and mind

I’m throwing all of your stuff away

When I’m done

It will be like you never darkened my door

You may think I can’t go on without you

But I’m doing just fine without you

You may have fooled me

But my spirit is harder to crack

My strength makes me see

All the things I can do on my own

Think again before you think you broke me

If you think I’m fragile

You’re the one that was fooled

You think what you did can be justified

By past events that were not the same

Maybe someday you will mature

From a boy into a man

By then it will be too late

I don’t need you

I have better things in life

Just stay away

Because I’m on my way

To a life without you

That’s right without you

There will not be pain anymore
