  1. No, I don't wanna hate you

  2. Just wish you'd never gone for the man

  3. And waited two weeks at least before you'd let him take you

  4. I stayed true

  5. I kind of knew you liked the dude from private school

  6. He's waiting for the time to move

  7. I knew he had his eyes on you

  8. He's not the right guy for you

  9. Don't hate me 'cause I write the truth

  10. No, I would never lie to you

  11. But it was never fine to lose you

  12. And what a way to find out

  13. It never came from my mouth

  14. You never changed your mind

  15. But you were just afraid to mind out

  16. But f- it

  17. I won't be changin' the subject, I love it

  18. I'll make your little secret public, it's nothing

  19. I'm just disgusted with the skeletons you sleep with in your closet

  20. To get back at me

  21. Trapped and I'm lackin' sleep

  22. Fact is, you're mad at me because I backtrack so casually

  23. You're practically my family

  24. If we married, then I'll guess you'd have to be

  25. But tragically, our love just lost the will to live

  26. But would I kill to give it one more shot?

  27. I think not

  28. I don't love you baby

  29. I don't need you baby

  30. I don't want you no

  31. Anymore

  32. I don't love you baby

  33. I don't need you baby

  34. I don't wanna love you no

  35. Anymore

  36. Recently I tend to zone out

  37. Up in my headphones to Holocene

  38. You promised your body but I'm away so much

  39. I stay more celibate than in a monastery

  40. I'm not cut out for life on the road

  41. 'Cause I didn't know I'd miss you this much

  42. And at the time we'd just go

  43. So sue me

  44. I guess I'm not the man that you need

  45. Ever since you went to uni

  46. I've been sofa surfing with a rucksack

  47. Full of less cash and I guess that could get bad

  48. But when I broke the industry

  49. That's when I broke your heart

  50. I was supposed to chart and celebrate

  51. But good things are over fast

  52. I know it's hard to deal with and see this

  53. I tend to turn you off and switch on my professional features

  54. Then I turn the music off

  55. And all I'm left with is to pick up my personal pieces, Jesus

  56. I never really want to believe this

  57. Got advice from my dad and he

  58. Told me that family is all I'll ever have and need

  59. I guess I'm unaware of it

  60. Success is nothing if you have no one there to share it with

  61. I don't love you baby

  62. I don't need you baby

  63. I don't want you, no

  64. Anymore

  65. I don't love you baby

  66. I don't need you baby

  67. I don't wanna love you, no

  68. Anymore

  69. And since you left I've given up my days off

  70. It's what I need to stay strong

  71. I know you have a day job but mine is 24/7

  72. I feel like writing a book

  73. I guess I lied in the hook

  74. 'Cause I still love you and I need you by my side if I could

  75. The irony is if my career and music didn't exist

  76. In six years, yeah, you'd probably be my wife with a kid

  77. I'm frightened to think if I depend on cider and drink

  78. And lighting a spliff

  79. I'll fall into a spiral and it's

  80. Just hiding my misguiding thoughts that I'm trying to kill

  81. And I'll be writing my will before I'm 27

  82. I'll die from a thrill

  83. Go down in history as just a wasted talent

  84. Can I face the challenge

  85. Or did I make a mistake erasing?

  86. It's only therapy

  87. My thoughts just get ahead of me

  88. Eventually I'll be fine, I know that it was never meant to be

  89. Either way I guess I'm not prepared but I'll say this

  90. These things happen for a reason and you can't change sh-

  91. Take my apology

  92. I'm sorry for the honesty

  93. But I had to get this off my chest

  94. I don't love you baby

  95. I don't need you baby

  96. I don't want you, no

  97. Anymore

  98. I don't love you baby

  99. I don't need you baby

  100. I don't wanna love you, no

  101. Anymore

The Man

No, I don't wanna hate you

Just wish you'd never gone for the man

And waited two weeks at least before you'd let him take you

I stayed true

I kind of knew you liked the dude from private school

He's waiting for the time to move

I knew he had his eyes on you

He's not the right guy for you

Don't hate me 'cause I write the truth

No, I would never lie to you

But it was never fine to lose you

And what a way to find out

It never came from my mouth

You never changed your mind

But you were just afraid to mind out

But f- it

I won't be changin' the subject, I love it

I'll make your little secret public, it's nothing

I'm just disgusted with the skeletons you sleep with in your closet

To get back at me

Trapped and I'm lackin' sleep

Fact is, you're mad at me because I backtrack so casually

You're practically my family

If we married, then I'll guess you'd have to be

But tragically, our love just lost the will to live

But would I kill to give it one more shot?

I don't love you baby

I don't want you no
