I don't need/I can


I don’t need your advice… I don’t need your help… I don’t need your sympathy… give it to someone else…

I can do bad on my own… I can great by myself… I can do right or do wrong… It never mattered how I felt…

I can do fine without your love… I can do good without you here… I can do fine with no one else… Cause I've been doing it for years…

I don’t need you to be there for me… you’ve let me down enough… I don’t need you to do anything… I've taught myself to be tough…

I can have knowledge without your teaching… Not that I needed them from the start… I can be anything that I want… All I do is follow my heart…

I don’t need you to listen… it’s not like you hear me now… I don’t need a demonstration… Life’s already taught me how…
