I Don't Need You

I Don't Need You

I don't need you here

You don't need to care

I don't need your soft lips

or the feel of your finger tips

I don't need you when I wake

To help my heart ache

I don't need to think of you

To care for you through and through 

I don't need your love

to grab me and take a hold of

I don't need you in my arms

to silence these alarms

I don't need you to feel me in the dark

or light my world with a marvelous spark

I don't need you when I cry

or when I let out an exhausted sigh 

I don't need you to look into my soul

to calm my worries to pull me from this hole

I don't need your stunning body

or for you to be my buddy

I don't need to watch you dance

to share years of romance

I don't need you to talk with me

to understand and to see

I don't need to love you

or for you to love me too 

I don't need to have my breath stolen

or to be the guy you've chosen

You see I don't need you

But damn if I don't want you

I want you in the morning 

to kiss me goodbye and send me soaring 

I want to see those eyes on me

to have those arms wrapped around me

I don't want you to be obligate 

But I want a love that won't become faded

I simply want you

and I want you to want me too
