outside of a level head with the glasses drying at the edge of my bed
i just need some time alone for awhile
locked up in an empty tomb with your photographs spread on the floor of my room
reminding me i once knew how to smile

all that i need is, all i really need is, all that i need is air
all that i need is, all i really need is, everything but you're not there

so i don't need a thing to remind me
so i don't need a thing to remind me
no i don't need a thing to make the world think that i don't need a thing at all

she left with a broken stare and her perfume still stale in my hair
it's like a movie pressing rewind
sometimes i would like to go back but i find it so hard to breathe the past
'cause i know that we are way past our prime

all that i need is, all i really need is, all that i need is air
all that i need is, all i really need is, everything but you're not there

no i don't need a thing to remind me
no i don't need a thing to remind me
no i don't need a thing to make the world think that i don't need a thing at all

bruised myself but my skin isn't scuffed
but i tricked myself; i'm soldier
my eyes see light but the bunkers too rough to crawl back to love and out of this hole

no i don't need a thing to remind me
no i don't need a thing...
no i don't need a thing to make the world think
no, i don't need a thing at all...
