Don't Need Anyone

I laughed at the mirror

As you tried to make it clearer

And I said, “Who would want to look at that?”

Well you told me, it wasn’t my job to be upset

If it makes your day for me to be better,

I guess I have to say I’ll just write you a letter

My confidence isn’t reliant on what you tell me

It’s reliant how often everyone judges my body

So I go back to the mirror, and it laughs back

It says, “There’s so many things others would kill to have”

*You don’t need anyone else

But you don’t need anyone else

But you don’t need anyone but yourself

You need to be nobody but you_

The more things change, the more things change

Life don’t ever stay the same

Even if you beg with all you have

Barter, bribe, and do all you can

Things change, people do too

But I won’t ever change myself

So that I seem better to you

It’s my clothes, my style, my hair

Why do you care, if you don’t wear it?

It’s my prerogative, my choice

If you would just let me be,

I could finally once more rejoice

So shut up and fold your hands

Enjoy the chorus as I bring it back

*You don’t need anyone else

But you don’t need anyone else

But you don’t need anyone but yourself

You need to be nobody but you_

 You drive me crazy

With your ups and downs

You thoughts are all around

Switch your sides, that’s fine

But don’t expect a round of applause

You do realize you’re the reason

I’m on this hospital bed

While you’re telling everyone else

That you’re the only reason I’m not dead

*You don’t need anyone else

But you don’t need anyone else

But you don’t need anyone but yourself

You need to be nobody but you_
