//Everywhere someone's getting over Everybody cries

And sometimes you can still lose even if you really try

Talking about the dream

Like the dream is over

Talk like that

Won't get you nowhere

Everybody's trusting in the heart

Like the heart don't lie//

I don't need anything.

I just stood there and let you walk out of my bed, out of my room, and out of my life. I didn't do anything but watch as you finally worked up the conviction to leave me. I could have stopped you; I could have convinced you to stay. But, I didn't.

You're probably moving on even as I sit here in the dark. You're probably crying and accepting and preparing to go back into the real world. The real world that I tried so hard to distance you from for as long as I could. I tried so hard to keep you with me. But, sometimes you can still lose even if you really try.

You're my dream, Lita. Stephanie is reality, but you're the impossible dream

that every man wants. And, I had you for a while. Now the dream is over.

You've left me alone with the cold reality. I'll go to bed, but you won't be

there beside me anymore.

If you were here, I know what you'd say. You'd say that talking doesn't get

you anywhere. That the only way to succeed is to get out there and do it.

Ever the fucking optimist, huh, Lita? Well, you're not here, and I'm falling

apart.

My heart hurts. It's not supposed to be this way. I'm the one who does the

hurting in relationships. You should be the one with these feelings of loss.

It's not right. My heart isn't supposed to be doing this to me, you were

nothing.

I don't need anything.

//And that's all that I need, yeah

Someone else to cling to, yeah

Someone I can lean on

Until I don't need to

Just stay all through the night

In the morning let me down

Cause that's all that I need right now//

I don't need anything.

This is all wrong. I'm not supposed to need you. You were supposed to be a

roll in the sack for me. A bed warmer when Steph's not around to fill the

position. I was supposed to be using you. You were the one who was supposed

to get attached, so that it was all the sweeter when I let you go.

I don't want someone to cling to. I've never wanted someone to cling to. Now

there's something in me that screaming with need. Screaming because it's all

alone with no one to hold on to. That part isn't supposed to exist. Those

feelings don't come out in me.

I want you to be here. I want you back in my bed, back by my side. Lita,

come to me. You've never resisted before. When it gets dark out, there you'd

be at my door. You would spend the night with me, content in my charms. When

the morning would come, you would leave. Because I only needed you at night.

I don't need anything.

//Everywhere someone's getting over

Everybody's life is someone

People still use other people with a crooked smile

And all around the world there's a sinking feeling

Out there right now someone's feeling

Down on themselves and don't know why

Every night//

I don't need anything.

I was your life. I hope you don't think I don't know that you drifted away

from everybody else. You think you did it yourself, but you didn't. It was

all perfectly orchestrated by me. They don't call me the Cerebral Assassin

for nothing.

I used you completely. It was so easy. All I had to do was find you when you

were vulnerable. After that, it was simply the work of a crooked smile and a

smooth voice. I told you everything you wanted to hear, and you did

everything I expected you to do.

At first you thought nothing had changed. I showed you otherwise. I made you

change slowly. I made you into who I wanted you to be. I made you completely

dependant on me. I watched as you slowly sunk into the depression of

hopelessness. Every night you came, even though you didn't want to. You

didn't even know why.

Then, you got tough. You started fighting. You took on a spark that made me

all the more interested in crushing you. I didn't get to, though. You

escaped. You left.

I don't need anything.

//And that's all that I need, yeah

Someone else to cling to, yeah

Someone I can lean on

Until I don't need to

Just stay all through the night, yeah

In the morning let me down

Cause that's all that I need right now//

I don't need anything.

Now, something's happening to me. All the while, when I was changing you,

something in me changed as well. You influenced some small, neglected part

of me and now it won't shut up. It's there all the time, making me feel

things.

I'll admit, part of me wants you back. There are no deeper emotions involved

in those, though. I may want your body, I may want to break you, but I don't

want you. Only that one part cares. That small part that won't stop

screaming for you.

It's like a child. It only wants to cling, to feel safe. I'm disgusting

myself. I don't feel that way. That's not who Triple H is. It's your fault

that part of me is feeling that way.

I don't want you. I'll never want you. That part will die eventually. After

all, you're not that important. You're plain, ordinary, you'll never be

someone, Lita. You'll always be someone's second choice. A motel room slut.

I don't need anything.

//And life ain't no beauty show

We don't know where tomorrow ends

And when we're sad

It's kind of a drag//

I don't need anything.

You're pretty enough, I suppose. You have to be to get by in this business

as a woman. You're not amazing though, not like Trish and Torrie. You're

there for your talent, you're not part of the beauty show. That's all you

ever hear, isn't it? Insults concealed as compliments.

The days must get long for you. Shoved into your role, having to do what is

expected of you. It never ends. Except when you come to me. I was a

reprieve, wasn't I Lita? I let you get away from your pathetic little

existence.

Now you've left me. Now you're all alone. There's no one there anymore to

push away all the sadness you have inside. It's kind of a drag, isn't it?

I don't need anything.

//Just stay all through the night

In the morning let me down

Yeah, cause that's all that I need

Yeah, that's all that I need

Yeah, that's all that I need

That's all that I need right now

Right now//

I don't need anything.

I don't need you by my side. I don't need you in my bed. I don't need

anything from you. I'll show you. You'll see. You're nothing to me. Nothing

at all. Why don't you come and find out?

You are cordially invited to the wedding of
Hunter Helmsley and Stephanie McMahon
