I DON'T NEED YOU // LYRICS
You can’t say I didn’t try
If I’m honest, I probably gave a little too much
Been on the ledge for a while
Cause I promised, that I would be
You can say I wasn’t good enough
But you know that that doesn’t change what really happened here
That I have grown
Into someone you never thought I could
Someone who could walk away from it all
Someone who could stand alone and be alright
Cause I don’t need you to tell me who I am or what I’m meant to be
I don’t need you to make up my mind
There’s so much I wanted to say but I can’t find the words to
Good to hear you're doing fine
If I'm honest, I think about you all the time
But we left us behind
To find out what we could be
Yeah you brought out the worst of me
So I know if I stay then we would both drown
But now I've grown into someone you never thought I could
Someone who could walk away from it all
Someone who could stand alone and be alright
Cause I don’t need you to tell me who I am or what I’m meant to be
I don’t need you to make up my mind
There’s gotta be another way, a better way
There’s so much I wanted to say but I can’t find the words to
I don’t need you
After all’s said and done
I know I’m gonna get through this
Rebuild the bridges I’ve burned down
And find the light in the darkness
Cause I don’t need you to tell me who I am or what I’m meant to be
I don’t need you to make up my mind
There’s gotta be another way, a better way
There’s so much I wanted to say but I can’t find the words to
I don’t need you

[@Superman_305]

This is the anthem for everyone who doesn't have to deal with a toxic person anymore who did nothing but bring them down instead of lifting them up and are now toxic free and stress free and are back to the person they were before they were in that toxic relationship. My fellow Toxic free and stress free people where you at let me hear you.

[@jordansharp7081]

Ex husband of 8 years destroyed me, abandoned me for my cousin and continues the cycle on her - while leaving me with our 3 year old and 1 year old to continue the cycle on them too

[@amberthecollector4860]

Just went through this

[@jeremyfahrni529]

I just tried for another relationship. Only to find out that im just another drop in the bucket

[@chealsyscarpitti3207]

I’m going through one of the hardest things and this song has been on constant repeat. It speaks the words I can’t say myself 💔

[@mrsnovocaine3941]

I can say the same thing. I lost my best friend/lover of 4 years and was told I’m dead to them , that I don’t exist to them anymore. I lost the one connection I thought would forever be here but I screwed everything up. If life couldn’t be more of an asshole they poured salt onto the wound with my favorite art teacher passing away this October and so sudden. I hope things are gonna look up for the both of us my friend. We will find a light in the darkness 🖤

[@losangeles3010]

I sent this to my husband. We've been married 24 yrs next month & together for 30 in Feb. After we'd been married for 20 yrs he suddenly lost all "act right" & hasn't found it again since. I wanted him to know that I was "going to get through this & find a light in the darkness" after all the dirty shit he'd done. & me being me, I'm going to come out even MORE badass than I already am. "Grown into someone he never thought I could". I hope things are going well for you love. Take care

[@kidrockblastz]

[@Latte44]

Same, so many friends and family were lost lately

I’m in love with with this band, they speak to my soul

[@benjaminsigman519]

[@minkssinatra7825]

THIS is what it's about. Danny's words always come from the heart and his experiences in life. People just want breakdowns and throat busting screams and they clearly don't give a shit about the art. Likely people who never grew up and are still 16 in their heads. Move on people, this shit is pure gold

[@JamesPhillipsOfficial]

Did you mean used to ie 2009-11 were best years. Now the suck has arrived. AA has fell off the boat imo can't be saved, when the sharks come, many bites into the flesh and bone, no hope remains.

[@JamesPhillipsOfficial]

@@minkssinatra7825 simply, no.

[@nikkolaus91]

I was hoping theyd surprise us and put ONE scream song on here. 5 song in and all I can think is that Danny is starting to sound alot like Miley Cyrus.

[@TiaNeshi]

I don't care if they have changed their style of making music, there are people in this world who deserve songs like this Much LOVE 🖤

[@Revan-eb1wb]

@SumOfIt it is funny how the excuse for getting soft is always (They are evolving, they are getting mature) as i lay dying are all in the 40s and are still making heavy music.

[@BaileyBaratheon]

@@Revan-eb1wb so does that mean everybody has to stick to the same stuff? Stupid comparison

[@devildog1204]

Some bands keep tried and true to what made them famous, and others grow with life experiences choosing to use that influence in their music. Neither are wrong, music is meant to evolve, and change with the artists. If it didn't we'd all be listening to the same shit just by different bands. Although if they go country....I'm fucking out on that trash. That is an unforgivable sin......Ahem.... Danny's solo garbage....🤦🏻‍♂️smgdh. We'll chalk it up to the alcoholism then, and never speak of it again. 🤣🤣🤣

[@JamesPhillipsOfficial]

Only hate now

[@JamesPhillipsOfficial]

AA band is dead, musically. They just wont admit it

[@Mommy2anAngelbaby]

When you're in love with someone, but they're not in love with you. When you break 💔 your own heart again and again for the one your heart can't unlove. Truth is you don't need them, you want them.

[@JamieMarie23]

"You brought out the worst of me so I know if I stay, then we would both drown." That hits too deep...

[@gracielynn4197]

Yes it does...

[@sheilagreenfield8102]

Yep. My ex brought out the worst in me and I hate that he had that capability.

[@Wile13Empath]

That's why I had to leave. I broke her heart because she's never been loved the way I loved her, but I couldn't do it anymore.

[@time502]

It cuts. SO.. damn.. deep

[@bhaskarchowdhury3687]

Same here 🥲

[@Omar504-nf1dc]

This is simply beautiful, it shows that the band gets more depth as the albums progress.

[@ToxicVAL]

As someone going through a breakup, this song hit hard. Its hard to say goodbye to someone you've loved for nearly a decade but sometimes its for the best. To anybody else going through the same thing, it gets better. You'll find what you need. You didnt need them anyway.

[@LynzeeB]

This comment has me in tears. Losing who I thought was the love of my life right now and it's really hard. Thank you.

[@snafylnO]

thanks... i really need to read this

[@aldon47]

I needed to see this today. Thanks.

[@ashleighdeamyand8725]

One day we'll all understand that they don't change anything and we can be happy even without them

[@bradrankin844]

I LOVE THIS SONG! Ive listened to it over and over!! IT TRULY SPEAKS TO ME👍👍👍👍

[@peterrossbooth2011]

This song has literally touched my soul in so many ways. Just recovering from a toxic marriage breakup and I've only just found myself. Much love 🖤🖤🖤

[@dannyray9240]

I've loved Asking Alexandria since I was 14, nearly 10 years now. I really didn't think I'd like anything from this album, I didn't care for the early releases, I couldn't appreciate what's really their growth, the flexibility they're clearly capable of. Congrats to them for making another great album, one that stands out more than any of the previous AA albums. Their ability to do this and go on adventures have been funded by their fans, which I'm sure they're grateful for. I'm buying this album for sure.

[@chaseoaks3026]

From death to destiny was a great stand out album as well

[@anonymousxxx7352]

This song hits home. I lost a daughter with a ex of mine...after a heart surgery went wrong...an my daughter after only 28 days of life had to be put into a medical coma...where my ex decide to pull the plug without ever asking me how i felt...our daughter had a 70% chance of living but would have been mentally disabled...but still enjoyed life which destroyed me for years...we left eachother...an after over 4yrs...we ran into eachother....an while the live was still there....i didnt need hear...bc i found my own light in the darkness...an we had grown to far apart..... thanks you Asking Alexandria for keeping your music real an full of true pain an growth.

[@joanneburke9828]

I am so sorry you went through that

[@MDBDFI]

I found this song in my darkest times hardest days I used to listen to it every day all day long and helped me get through those days.. I’m stronger now and I can live without anyone around me.
