Well I knew something wasn’t right the other night
  When she came to bed angry
  We used to talk before but lately we’ve been fighting
  About the stupid ass things
  And I don’t know if we can come to some sort of conclusion here
  There’s got to be an easy way to say goodbye without the pain and tears
  That you cry
  
  I never wanted to give you away
  Well I still love you but I don’t need you
  I never wanted to give you away
  Well I still love you but I don’t need you
  
  Every morning 6 AM she kicks her blankets off the bed
  Another cup of coffee, yes
  She reads a funny paper book with tea
  She doesn’t feel like laughing
  I never meant to cause you pain
  It’s something that I can’t explain
  I’d only wish you’d stop and see
  That all I have is you and me
  I hope you know that I tried
  
  I never wanted to give you away
  Well I still love you but I don’t need you
  I never wanted to give you away
  Well I still love you but I don’t need you
