Lyrics

DON’T NEED THIS LOVE ANYMORE

“I don’t need this love anymore,” she said to me
While she was walking away
“You never really cared about giving me
The simple things day after day
You might as well have been a ghost
We both know you loved yourself the most
But I was hoping…always hoping that you’d come around.”

“I don’t need this love anymore,” she said to me
With words I never heard before
“You never listen to a single thing I say
So I won’t speak anymore
There’s nothing that could change me now
She said, “I’ve already thrown in the towel
But I was hoping…always hoping that you’d come around.”

She said, “Don’t ever think of me as a fool, boy
Who tried in vain to make this broken love work
It could have been so easy…
It could have been so sweet…
If you weren’t such a goddam jerk.”

“I don’t need this love anymore,” she said to me
As I lit up another smoke
“You can shake your head and laugh away these words you hear
But let me tell you boy, this ain’t no joke
You might as well have been a ghost
We both know you loved yourself the most
But I was hoping…always hoping that you’d come around
Yeah, I was hoping…always hoping that you’d come around”

“I don’t need this love anymore,” she said to me…
“I don’t need this love anymore.”
