insecure, you're insecure
to look at you is to risk infection
no cure, there's no cure
you're touching me and I need protection
don't know what you do it for
you baffle me with your misdirection
aim is pure, your aim is pure
you mow me down at the intersection
as I rattle my cage with my itchy hands
my futile rage and my useless plans
I don't need you
I don't need you
can't pay, you won't pay
you do without the love you lack
take it away, you take it away
when are you ever gonna give it back
no hope, there's no hope
you make me long to give up the fight
put me to sleep, you put me to sleep
you make it dark and turn out the light
with my guilty conscience and my urgent need
my toecaps twitching to make someone bleed
I don't need you
I don't need you
knives our out, the knives are out
you cut me up and I feel it sting
you talk about what you talk about
you babble on and you say nothing
you make me sing you make me sing
you make me shout and scream until
I'm coming close, I'm coming close
I'd work it out if I could just sit still
with my dead-end dreams and my nagging doubts
my earnest mind and my bloody mouth
I don't need you
I don't need you
I don't need you
I don't need you
