I May Not Need You, But That Doesn’t Mean I Wouldn’t Bleed for You
It’s true I don’t need you but it scares me
How much I would bleed for you,
How much you reprieve
The idea that the longer you stay,
The harder it is to leave
Haunts me to this day
And Annie said love and hate are equal,
But I don’t want to believe her
So I try not to think of a sequel
It’s true it can’t be much more than an accident
That we met and we mattered,
That we oxidize and we shattered
And Annie said life is so fragile,
Now we know it
So please, be careful how you show it
For when you say it,
It sounds like the first song
I have ever had the pleasure
To prolong and to measure
It’s true that I will not set myself on fire for you
But I will steal all the light on this earth,
To remind you of your worth,
To keep you warm when the whole world
Has transformed into an unfurled storm
And Annie said to burn it, burn it all
Either way,
I’ll turn it into a fireplace in the rough
If my embrace doesn’t keep you warm enough
