I don't want me to need ya anymore
You won't be seein' me anymore
You don't want me to need ya anymore
I won't be seein' you anymore
あなたがいて私は初めて人に頼ってみて
あなたを見て私は初めて一目惚れして
あなたのことが好きな
私のこと嫌だな
思い出 古くなって
頭の中で腐っちゃってる感じでさ
そんなの捨てたいのに相当しつこい恋で
ゴシゴシこすってもくっついてあるの
もういい加減諦め、my heart
You know I wanna move on
どうすればいい?

English Version – release coming soon!
So we met, and I liked you
The next step was pretty plain to me
It's always the same
I took my heart and split it in two
So I could share it with you
Gave it up as a kinda gift
Fair trade, yours for mine
But then when in the end
You brought me back the pieces
How's this work again?
To be plain with you, I just wanna live without you
To believe in me enough to be leaving you
Once and for all
But I met you and you met me
Never needed anybody before you came along
Now I can't go it alone
I can't do a damn thing on my own without you
We broke up I got lonely
And I can see now
how much I liked bein' there by your side
On the wall in purple ink
There's a bucket list of all the things
I thought you and I would get the chance
To do this year
Maybe me myself and I can check the boxes
We wanna move on
How's this work again?
From here on, I know I just wanna live without you
So I'm trying to rely on only me
Each and every day, every live long day
From the moment my eyes met yours
From the moment you smiled before
I realized, got terrified, threw a fit, ain't used to it
That things ain't never gonna be the same now
How I wish I could put an end
To all of this but then again
How's this work again?
I don't want me to need ya anymore
You won't be seein' me anymore
You don't want me to need ya anymore
I won't be seein' you anymore
I met you and you met me, never needed anybody
Two are we and we can be anything we wanna be
...everything we need to be
You know I hate how much I love you
I know your game but every time I lose
All my memories of you are going stale
My mind it's like a fridge of leftover food
It’ll leave a lot bare once you’re not there
And you’re gonna rot there til I can't bear
But clean you out
I swear I wanna move on
How's this work again?
You know how much I hate how much I need you
Who knows how long I'd wait if I believed you
Why can't I go it alone?
Can't do a damn thing on my own without you

Special thanks to:
- Miri, for your suitably aggressive pep talks, for how you always ground me when I'm drowning in self-doubt, for shaping this song from its jump-ropey "Wii music" beginnings first aired in a karaoke hole in Kabukicho, and for your "RELEASE IT NOW" philosophy
- the trained ears of Bad Year Records! Thank you for the beta listening that truly set my novice heart at ease, and for your so-called ".000000000001%" contribution that in reality meant sooooo much more than that to me!
- Swans, who stanned this song through all of its SoundCloud shadow years and gave me a reason to polish it! Thank you for all the love you show each and every one of my songs ♡
- Sophia, for sharing your mixing expertise and go-to plugins!
- David, for telling me it's okay to release songs in whatever language I want, whenever I want, but more and more often is best!
- Yuko, for encouraging me to trust my own lyrical instincts at our little gakuya lunch! Thank you for giving 'nanmo' a listen beside me on the shinkansen (my mobile office, of course)! Your effusive review of the song gave me all the warm fuzzies!
- All my beloved Bandcampers, for faithfully camping out ♡
