She knew I'd take her side
In everything she did
Even if it might be wrong
And that's why she stayed so long

She doesn't know it yet
And I don't see how I'll tell her
That she doesn't need me
And what's more, I don't need her

We discovered what love means
Then watched it fall apart
It's hard to be apart
I don't know what I'll say
But I'll have to think of something
'Cause she doesn't need me
And what's more, I don't need her

Even this morning lies
Steals through the window
I see our love go
Can't she see it, too
Just the way I do
Oh but she'll have to

It's seems a shame to say out loud
The things I know are true
But what else can I do
We should have known
That it had to happen sometime
That she doesn't need me
And what's more, I don't need her
