Asking Alexandria & Grace Grundy - I Don't Need You Lyrics

Asking Alexandria & Grace Grundy Lyrics

"I Don't Need You"

You can't say I didn't try
If I'm honest, I probably gave a little too much
Been on the ledge for a while
'Cause I promised, that I would be
You can say I wasn't good enough but you know
That that doesn't change what really happened here
That I have grown
Into someone you never thought I could

Someone who could walk away from it all
Someone who could stand alone and be alright

'Cause I don't need you to tell me
Who I am or what I'm meant to be
I don't need you to make up my mind
There's so much I wanted to say
But I can't find the words

Hate to hear you're doing fine
If I'm honest, I think about you all the time
But we left us behind
To find out what we could be
Yeah, you brought out the worst of me so I know
If I stay then we would both drown
But now I've grown
Into someone you never thought I could

Someone who could walk away from it all
Someone who could stand alone and be alright

'Cause I don't need you to tell me
Who I am or what I'm meant to be
I don't need you to make up my mind
There's so much I wanted to say
But I can't find the words to
I don't need you
I don't need you

After all's said and done
I know I'm gonna get through this
Rebuild the bridges I've burned down
And find the light in the darkness

After all's said and done
I know I'm gonna get through this
I'll find the light in the darkness
In the darkness

I don't need you to tell me
Who I am or what I'm meant to be
I don't need you to make up my mind
My mind

There's so much I wanted to say
But I can't find the words to
There's so much I wanted to say
But I can't find the words
I don't need you, no, no, oh
I don't need you, no more, no more

Ben Bruce told Kerrang about "I Don't Need You", "It's an honest look into relationships. The fact is that 99.9% of relationships don't work until you find that one." He added, "It's almost a ballad, but while most ballads are lovey-dovey, this one is more triumphant, and it's about self-love and realising your own worth."

On the collaboration on this song with singer/songwriter Grace Grundy, Ben Bruce commented, "It turns out that she's a fan of Asking Alexandria. She told us that when we were filming Brixton And Beyond, her boyfriend was supposed to take her but ended up taking another woman instead. She missed that show and used that to really start singing. There was this deeper connection that brought us together. She flew out to the States and recorded with us."
