Don’t Need You Lyrics
So now this ship is sinking
I don’t know what to do
It’s got me thinking that I don’t need
Don’t need you
Too many wrong decisions
You didn’t think this through
So what I’m saying is I don’t need
Don’t need you
[Verse 1]
Open your eyes and see
What we have become
This isn’t living, it’s existing
And I just can’t take this shit
And hurt anymore
Hurt anymore
[Pre-Chorus]
So bury me with all you got
It never stops, never ends, gotta try and
Let it out, let it go
Is this the end?
‘Cause it might just break me
[Chorus]
So now this ship is sinking
I don’t know what to do
It’s got me thinking that I don’t need
Don’t need you
Too many wrong decisions
You didn’t think this through
So what I’m saying is I don’t need
Don’t need you
Look at us now, we’re fucked
And nothing’s the same
The biggest piece of me is missing and I just can’t
Take this life or try anymore
I just don’t care so come and...
[Pre-Chorus]
Bury me with all that you've got
It never stops, never ends, gotta try and
Let it out, let it go
Is this the end?
‘Cause it might just break me
(Might just break me)
[Chorus]
So now this ship is sinking
I don’t know what to do
It’s got me thinking that I don’t need
Don’t need you
Too many wrong decisions
You didn’t think this through
So what I’m saying is I don’t need
Don’t need you
[Bridge]
Don’t need you
Don’t need you
It never stops it never ends
Is it too late to make amends
It never stops it never ends
Is it too late to make amends
So bury me with all you got
It never stops, never ends, gotta try and
Let it out, let it go
Is this the end?
‘Cause it might just break me
[Chorus]
So now this ship is sinking
I don’t know what to do
It’s got me thinking that I don’t need
Don’t need you
Too many wrong decisions
You didn’t think this through
So what I’m saying is I don’t need
Don’t need you
[Outro]
Don’t need you
Don’t need you
Too many wrong decisions
You didn’t think this through
So what I’m saying is I don’t need
Don’t need you
Bury me with all that you've got
About

“Don’t Need You” is the first song released under BFMV’s new record label RCA Records. The band teased the music video on November 2nd, 2016, and released it on November 7th.

In an interview with Kerrang! Magazine, frontman Matt Tuck said:
It’s not really a ‘doomed’ wedding as such. It’s really just a take on a concept I had. There’s this beautiful ceremony, and it appears to be all about love and trust, but there’s this undercurrent of mistrust and bullshit to go with it. The church we filmed it in is perfect.
It’s not your typical wedding venue – it’s really run-down and dirty. We thought that contrast would be really cool to have with the idea of the video. We wanted it to look really grand and ornate, but underneath it all, it’s a bit dirty."
