In 'Don't Need You', The Weeknd explores themes of emotional conflict and the bittersweet reality of moving on from a toxic relationship. With introspective lyrics and a haunting melody, this song captures the struggle of wanting someone while realizing you are better off alone.
[Verse 1]
I know you want me
But I can't keep chasing
I'm tired of the games
And all the complications
You say you love me
Then you go and leave me
I'm done with the doubts
You don't need to tease me
[Chorus]
I don't need you
I don’t wanna fight
I'm better alone
In the dead of night
Thoughts keep haunting
But I'm breaking free
This love's a prison
I don't need the key
[Verse 2]
You play it smooth
Like you're just so innocent
But every time I fall
You act like it's a benefit
Conflicted feelings
Pull me in, let me out
You say that you want me
But what’s it really about?
[Chorus]
I don't need you
I don’t wanna fight
I'm better alone
In the dead of night
Thoughts keep haunting
But I'm breaking free
This love's a prison
I don't need the key
[Bridge]
Running circles in my mind
But this time I’ll be fine
You can't hold me back
From living my life
I’ll take the scars you left
And wear them like a crown
A lesson learned my dear,
You can't keep me down
[Chorus]
I don't need you
I don’t wanna fight
I'm better alone
In the dead of night
Thoughts keep haunting
But I'm breaking free
This love's a prison
I don't need the key
[Outro]
Don't need you, no
I'm finally free
Life without the weight
Is where I need to be.
