Between Love & Hate Lyrics

Watched her as she wiped her eyes
You don't make me sorry now I know
That you never listened listen

Thinking about that high school dance
Worrying about the finals
Yes I know
You're feeling lonely
Oh lonely, so lonely

Never needed anybody, I never needed anybody
I never needed anybody, I never needed nobody
Don't worry about it, honey
I never needed anybody
I never needed anybody, it won't change now

Am I wrong?
Don't sing along with me
I said I was fine
It's just the second time
We lost the war

She'd be in the kitchen
I would start the fire
Those days are gone
But you know I can't give up give up

P.S. if I may ask why
When will they get tired
We've stayed up
All night tryin' tryin'

Never needed anybody, I never needed nobody
I never needed anybody, I never needed anybody
Don't worry about it, honey
I never needed anybody
I never needed anybody, it won't change now

Am I wrong?
Don't sing along with me
I said I was fine
The second time
We lost the war
