lyrics

I don’t want you to need me
I don’t think that it’s fair
You wrote, I didn’t answer
You tried to beg and I didn’t care
Oh no

I’ll admit I can finally breathe easy
Now I’m not bracing for you to derail me
‘Cause babe, I’m just one whole woman, sometimes barely
And honey, you gotta work to make it easy
Oh easy
Easy

I don’t know just what it is that I’m so scared for
I’m delighted by new people all the time
Thought it was cute you were afraid you weren’t enough for me
Now I know you weren’t planning to try
Now you gotta release me
Please release me

Now you’re back from your trip and you’re lonely
Call Jamie, call your sister, don’t call me
Yeah you’re young and maybe it’s true that you’re learning
Still, you’ve got a lot of nerve to ask what you’re asking
Had you forgotten that I lost you and my mother, too
And at the end of it all I’m still standing
I’ve got my hands up
I’ve got my hands up
I’m still standing
Now you tell me who got tired of fighting
