Story Behind The Song

Went through a long marriage and a divorce. Personal beyond that.

Song Description

Sometimes people try to be something they're not in an effort to make a relationship work. They get lost in it and are miserable, but can't seem to find a way out. When they do realize what and why they are where they are and break free they are relieved and happy. This song is about that transformation.

Lyrics

Chorus
Hey oh no no no dah di ah do
Hey oh no no no
I Don't need your Love
Hey oh no no no dah di ah do
Hey oh no no no

You're tellin' me how it's gonna be, well I got news for you
There's gonna be some changes come your way
I'm gettin' tired of bein' told what I'm supposed to do
Well baby I just got one thing to say
So listen

A brand new day and I've got a smile. The future looks so bright.
I'm feelin' great 'cause now I know I'm free.
You change your mind say you want me back. That you will change your ways
But baby where you are 'aint where I'll be
You get it.

I really tried once to see things your way
Did all you asked when you promised to stay
But there's no love when there's only control
Time for good-bye 'cause I'm freein' my soul

I see the tears that you're cryin' now, but where were they before
Through all the years when I begged you to love me
I was afraid just to be myself, but now the fear is gone.
It feels so great to know that I am free.
So Listen

I'm goin' away
I'm leavin' today
'Cause I don't need your love
