What I Don't Want


I don't want your money, I don't want your dope, I don't want to be left here hanging on hope. I don't want to be lied to, I don't want to be cheated, I don't want to be the one you just thought you needed. I don't want your pity, I don't want your pain, I don't want to be the one left out in the rain. I don't want this bullshit, I don't want this sugarcoat, I don't want to be left bound by this rope. I don't want to know how it got this far, I don't want to hear how sorry you are, I don't want to hear that you want me to stay, I don't want to play these fucked-up head games. I don't want to hear all your excuses, I don't want to know why you've used and abused me, I don't want to hear you say that you love me, I don't want your hands on me, Don't fucking touch me. I don't want to love you, I don't want to leave you, I don't want you to know how much I need you. So, I think it's time to be on my way, And if you wanted to know what I wanted from you, All I can say is, I wanted you to be true.... Jennifer
