You Don't Have to Care

You don't have to worry;

I will be alright.

You don't have stay

With me every night.

You don't have to tell me

What you think is safe –

Give me some time,

Give me some space.

-

You don't have to worry

That I will run away.

You just have to let me be

And then maybe I'll stay.

You don't have to care

About what I do.

Can you not see by now

That I don't need you?
