You and I don’t talk about what happened anymore
I’ve made different friends; I go out less than I did before
But every now and then I see you at a bar in town
And I wonder - would I be happier, baby, if I hadn’t found you out?

Cause I remember asking for the truth
And if you’d given me that I could have put up with a lot from you
But now the light is shining
And it shines so differently on the past
And it illuminates all of those questions
I never thought to ask

And sometimes I can’t tell the difference
Between love and low self esteem
‘Cause it’s when I’m feeling tiny as an eyelash
That’s when I want to be all you need

I just don’t care at all
That’s what I’d like to say to you, if it were true
But I can’t get over how little I knew

‘Cause if you lied about her
Then yes you lied about me
And we both know you can’t really love a person that you just refuse to see

And when you told me you don’t want to live together
I know exactly what you mean
Beause why would you want to pay for dinner
When you eat every night for free?

I just don’t care at all
That’s what I’m gonna say to you, when it is true
When I no longer need a single thing from you.
