[Verse 1]
I've been guarded
So afraid to get hung up on somebody
Call on someone anew
Voluntarily, in solitary
Love is an idea
A concept I simply outgrew

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Past the point of needing one's caress
Hear me out, not looking to digress

[Chorus 1]
I know that you're trying to make me want somebody
Haven't I yet proven I don't need nobody
While others fold, the way they do
Don't go on thinking I'll turn to you
Done it all before, it leads nowhere

[Verse 2]
I won't tell you, won't reclaim for you
All that he holds captive
The innocence that he withdrew
I know it pains you to try to tame you
Defy all your ideals and
Cloud your perfect skyline view
