V1.

You say you’re working late tonight.

Is that really where you’ve been?

Tomorrow you’re golfing with the guys.

Guess I’m on my own again?

You don’t kiss me when you’re leaving

Your hand stays just out of reach

I can’t shout across your distance

And we ain’t made love in weeks.

Chorus

Teach me I don’t need you.

Keep pushing me away

I won’t wonder where you are

Playing the games you play

Keep planning life without me

I don’t believe you knew

Things you show me every day

Teach me I don’t need you.

V2.

Mid-night buzzing breaks the silence.

Can’t hide the dim light of your phone.

In bed scrolling, your back to me

Makes me feel even more alone.

It makes me wonder when I text you

Why I don’t get that quick reply?

But now I’m understanding

It’s not me who’s on your mind.

Chorus

Teach me I don’t need you.

Keep pushing me away.

I won’t wonder where you are

Playing the games you play.

Keep planning life without me.

I don’t believe you knew.

Things you show me every day

Teach me I don’t need you.

Bridge

I’ve finally learned my lesson

I’ve felt the pain you bring

I’m not feeling jealous

‘Cause you’ll teach her the same things

Chorus

Teach me I don’t need you

Keep pushing me away

I won’t wonder where you are

Playing the games you play

Keep planning life without me

I don’t believe you knew

Things you show me every day

Teach me I don’t need you.

Things you show me every day

Teach me I don’t need you
