Lyrics
I Don’t Want Anything From You (Music by D. Wylie, K. Mosiuk, H. Gregg, J. Cooper,
lyrics by D. Wylie)
When we were strangers, your biography was intriguing
And when we were lovers it was a threat to my well-being
Now that we’re just two people who can see each other clearly
Affinity is free to exist, no longer subject to the terms of “you and me”
Don’t know if my expectations crossed the line
But I know those kind of frustrations, they’re the thing
That’ll get you every time
Now that we’re standing on the other side of that line
I don’t want anything from you
And now we’re getting somewhere
See real relation grow from the grave of a troubled fling
I don’t want anything from you
And ain’t that, ain’t that a beautiful thing
You’ve got some beans that will never be fully spilled
And I’ve got some needs that no human being could ever fulfill
Now that I’m just your friend I can read your story clearly
My insecurity has nothing to feed on
Deprived of the tale of “you and me”
Don’t know if my expectations crossed the line
I know that some expectations have a place and time
But now I see to displace them if for everyone to have a better time
Now that we’re standing on the other side of that line
I don’t want anything from you
And now we’re getting somewhere
See real relation grow from the grave of a troubled fling
I don’t want anything from you
And ain’t that, ain’t that a beautiful thing
Ain’t it beautiful, wind it up and let it go
Stand back and watch it grow
Ain’t it beautiful, ain’t in beautiful
Now that we’re standing on the other side of that line
I don’t want anything from you
And now we’re getting somewhere
See real relation grow from the grave of a troubled fling
I don’t want anything from you
And ain’t that, ain’t that a beautiful thing
Ain’t that a beautiful thing…
