I Don't Need Your Love
Breaking Free: Navigating Love's Struggles with Cormac Looby
Lyrics
You look like someone I knew a year ago
You resemble someone I knew a year ago
Before I lost my confidence
Before I lost my self-assurance
Before I lost my confidence
Repetition emphasizes the loss of confidence
But time moves too quickly
Time passes swiftly, causing forgetfulness of one's true self
And you forget just what to be
Forgetting how to be oneself due to the rapid passage of time
And I know that should be simple
Acknowledgment of the simplicity that should characterize life
I know that should be simple but
Despite knowing life should be simple, a contradiction is present
I’m not gonna wait around for you
Refusing to wait for someone who doesn't reciprocate
When I know you don’t want me to
Awareness that waiting is futile when the other person is not interested
But it's just
Introduction of the difficulty and heaviness in life
Too hard, too heavy
Expressing the overwhelming nature of life's challenges
I can’t make sense of anything
Feeling unable to make sense of anything
But I feel your blood running
Sensing the presence of the other person through their essence
I feel your blood running
Reiteration of feeling the other person's influence
And I fall so fast
Falling quickly, possibly into emotional entanglements
You look at me as if to say
The other person signals that enough is enough
Enough is enough
Declaring independence from the need for the other person's love
And I don’t need your love
Emphasizing the rejection of the need for love
Then I think, in my country
Reflection on personal identity and gender roles
I’m a man and that’s what I’ll be
Affirming one's identity as a man in their country
But d'ya ever seem to blur the lines
Questioning the clarity of boundaries in relationships
D'ya ever seem to change your mind
Noticing changes and indecision in the other person
And I’m caught in that moment
Feeling trapped in a specific moment of uncertainty
And I play it over and over again
Replaying the uncertain moment repeatedly in the mind
What’s that gonna help
Questioning the utility of repeatedly replaying the moment
So I’m not gonna let myself dream of you
Resolving not to indulge in dreams or fantasies about the other person
There's only so much i can do
Recognizing personal limitations in the situation
And it's just
Reiteration of the difficulty and weight of life
Too hard, too heavy
Re-emphasizing the challenge of making sense of life
I can’t make sense of anything
Continued struggle to understand the complexities of life
But I feel your blood running
Sensing the other person's influence through their essence
I feel your blood running
Reiteration of feeling the other person's impact
And I fall so fast
Falling rapidly, possibly into emotional turmoil
You look at me as if to say
The other person signals that enough is enough
Enough is enough
Reiteration of independence from the need for the other person's love
Enough is enough
Re-emphasizing the rejection of the need for love
And I don’t need your love
Final declaration of not needing the other person's love
I don’t, I don’t, I don’t, no I don’t need it
Repetition of the firm stance on not needing the other person's love
I don’t, I don’t, I don’t, no I don’t need it
-I don’t, I don’t, I don’t, no I don’t need it
-I don’t, I don’t, I don’t, no I don’t need it
-I don’t, I don’t, I don’t, no I don’t need it
-I don’t, I don’t, I don’t, no I don’t need it
-I don’t, I don’t, I don’t, no I don’t need it
-I don’t, I don’t, I don’t, no I don’t need your love
