The Man

Edd Sheran

Now I don't wanna hate you
 Just wish you'd never gone for the man
 And waited two weeks at least
 Before you let him take you
 I stayed true
 I kind of knew you liked the dude from private school
 He's waiting for the time to move
 I knew he had his eyes on you
 He's not the right guy for you
 Don't hate me cause I write the truth
 No I would never lie to you
 But it was never fine to lose you
 And what a way to find out
 It never came from my mouth
 You never changed your mind
 But you were just afraid to mind out
 But f*ck it, I won't be changing the subject I love it
 I'll make your little secret public it's nothing
 I'm just disgusted with the skeletons you sleep with in your closet to get back at me
 Trapped and I'm lacking sleep
 Fact is you're mad at me because I backtrack so casually
 You're practically my family
 If we married then I'll guess you'd have to be
 But tragically our love just lost the will to live
 But would I kill to give it one more shot
 I think not

I don't love you baby
 I don't need you baby
 I don't want you no
 Anymore
 I don't love you baby
 I don't need you baby
 I don't wanna love you no
 Anymore

Recently I tend to zone out
 Up in my headphones to Holocene
 You promised your body but I'm away so much
 I stay more celibate than in a monastery
 I'm not cut out for life on the road
 Cause I didn't know I'd miss you this much
 And at the time we'd just go, so sue me
 I guess I'm not the man that you need
 Ever since you went to uni
 I've been sofa surfing with a rucksack
 Full of less cash and I guess that could get bad
 But when I broke the industry
 That's when I broke your heart
 I was supposed to chart and celebrate
 But good things are over fast
 I know it's hard to deal with and see this
 I tend to turn you off and switch on my professional features
 Then I turn the music off
 And all I'm left with is to pick up my personal pieces, Jesus
 I never really want to believe this
 Got advice from my dad and he
 Told me that family is all I'll ever have and need
 I guess I'm unaware of it
 Success is nothing if you have no one there left to share it with

I don't love you baby
 I don't need you baby
 I don't want you no
 Anymore
 I don't love you baby
 I don't need you baby
 I don't wanna love you no
 Anymore

And since you left, I've given up my days off
 It's what I need to stay strong
 I know you have a day job but mine is 24/7
 I feel like writing a book, I guess I lied in the hook
 Cause I still love you and I need you by my side if I could
 The irony is if my career and music didn't exist
 In 6 years, yeah, you'd probably be my wife with a kid
 I'm frightened to think if I depend on cider and drink
 And lighting a spliff I fall into a spiral and it's
 Just hiding my misguiding thoughts that I'm trying to kill
 And I'd be writing my will before I'm 27, I'll die from a thrill
 Go down in history as just a wasted talent
 Can I face the challenge, or did I make a mistake erasing?
 It's only therapy, my thoughts just get ahead of me
 Eventually I'll be fine I know that it was never meant to be
 Either way I guess I'm not prepared, but I'll say this
 These things happen for a reason and you can't change sh*t
 Take my apology, I'm sorry for the honesty
 But I had to get this off my chest

I don't love you baby
 I don't need you baby
 I don't want you no
 Anymore
 I don't love you baby
 I don't need you baby
 I don't wanna love you no
 Anymore
