What I Don't Need

Here we go again
Watching my reputation
Go up in flames
I am no stranger to this shame
You held my hand
You took away my sins
You told me I'm only human
That I was a victim of their games

You tried to save me
Save me
Save me from myself
You tried to change me
Change me
Into something else

Well, I don't need it
I don't need it
I don't need it anymore

I don't need no knight on a white horse
I don't need no guru
No I don't need you anymore
I don't need
No man to tell me what is right
I don't need your insight
No, I don't need that anymore
I just need the truth
I just need the truth
It don't come from you

Here we go again
Another night of fighting
Talking in circles
I'm tired and weary
So worn down
But the only way to keep you in my life
Is just admit that I've been wrong
You say, "it's not so black and white"

But you still blame me,
You blame me
Blame me for what's wrong
Coming down hard on me
You're so hard on me
When I won't play along

Well, I don't need it
I don't need it
I don't need it anymore

I don't need no knight on a white horse
I don't need no guru
No, I don't need you anymore
I don't need
Your moral authority
I don't need your scrutiny
No, I don't need that anymore
I just need the truth
I just need the truth
It don't come from you

And it's a hard pill to take
You didn't love me
For the way that I am
I was your free bird in a cage
Said I'd fly too close to the sun
And you don't wanna be the one
To stick around
And watch me go up in flames

Well burn, baby burn
Watch me bursting into flames
I'm still living and thriving
falling from your grace

Cuz' I don't need ya
I don't need ya
I don't need ya anymore

I don't need no knight on a white horse
I don't need no guru
No, I don't need you anymore
I don't need
Your thoughts or your concerns
Oh, I'll keep on burning
And I burn like the sun
Cuz I know the truth
I know the truth
