The eighth song off Tell Me That It’s Over, featuring heavy late 70s inspired synth-pop. Wallows considers it “very much a breakup song,” and it features a jumpy chorus with fast backing vocals.
[Verse 1: Braeden Lemasters & Dylan Minnette]
Haven't talked in months, I knew it'd be tough
Forward to April, did I give it enough?
What to blame it on now?
I know myself better than you do
[Pre-Chorus: Braeden Lemasters & Dylan Minnette]
Part of me is something that you'll never see
We made a pact (Now we'll never get it back)
[Chorus: Braeden Lemasters & Dylan Minnette]
I won't lie
(But it really doesn't matter)
I don't need it
(I'm obsessed when I don't have it)
It's alright
(What I want and what I don't)
Can you see that?
(But I never want to know)
I won't lie
(I'm always running away)
I don't need it
(So I really can't complain)
I don't mind
(I'll have to accept that I)
I don't need it 'cause it hurts me
[Verse 2: Braeden Lemasters & Dylan Minnette]
Losing control, I start to fold
Karma for heartbreak is really taking its toll
Hope that you're doing alright
You know yourself better than I do
[Pre-Chorus: Braeden Lemasters & Dylan Minnette]
Part of you is always there with someone new
But it's just for fun (Over 'fore it has begun)
[Chorus: Braeden Lemasters & Dylan Minnette]
I won't lie
(But it really doesn't matter)
I don't need it
(I'm obsessed when I don't have it)
It's alright
(What I want and what I don't)
Can you see that?
(But I never want to know)
I won't lie
(I'm always running away)
I don't need it
(So I really can't complain)
I don't mind
(I'll have to accept that I)
I don't need it 'cause it hurts me
[Bridge: Braeden Lemasters & Dylan Minnette]
Better to break than bend again
Heal up the wounds that did you in
Hurt by the thought that you'd give in
But who do I hurt for?
(Now I'll never get it back)
[Chorus: Braeden Lemasters & Dylan Minnette]
I won't lie
(But it really doesn't matter)
I don't need it
(I'm obsessed when I don't have it)
It's alright
(What I want and what I don't)
Can you see that?
(But I never want to know)
I won't lie
(I'm always running away)
I don't need it
(So I really can't complain)
I don't mind
(I'll have to accept that I)
I don't need it 'cause it hurts me
[Outro: Braeden Lemasters]
I don't need it 'cause it hurts me
I don't need it 'cause it hurts me
I don't need it 'cause it hurts me
I don't need it

Cole Preston:
The lyrics were very honest about going through a breakup, the months after that, and wondering if you should even consider talking to that person again or if that’s actually not good for you. You’re not sure what’s going on. ‘What’s best for me at this moment?’ The song is about tryi...
