They like to think that I'm naive
Boys, believe what you'll believe
I've got other tricks up my sleeve
And all this carelessness breeds pain
My secret ball and chain
It's breaking hearts, and making me insane
So when did you decide that I don't need love
You're messing with a mind that doesn't need to be shoved
I'd like to take those eyes and show them all where kindness lies
Last night I left to find a warmer place to hide
Such simple pleasures that I miss
Like the softness of a kiss
Or a friend just to say, it'll be OK
So what makes you think that I don't need love
I'm falling off the brink and I don't need to be shoved
So take those bitter eyes and choke them down with all your pride
Last night I left to find a kinder soul to confide in
(I'm not that girl that doesn't need love)
(I'm not that girl that needs to be shoved)
(so take those eyes and choke them down)
