Filmed in NYC by Lauren Poulter, Feb 2017. http://www.jesscornelius.com You and I don’t talk about what happened anymore I’ve made different friends; I go out less than I did before But every now and then I see you at a bar in town And I wonder - would I be happier, baby, if I hadn’t found you out? Cause I remember asking for the truth And if you’d given me that I could have put up with a lot from you But now the light is shining And it shines so differently on the past And it illuminates all of those questions I never thought to ask And sometimes I can’t tell the difference Between love and low self esteem ‘Cause it’s when I’m feeling tiny as an eyelash That’s when I want to be all you need I just don’t care at all That’s what I’d like to say to you, if it were true But I can’t get over how little I knew ‘Cause if you lied about her Then yes you lied about me And we both know you can’t really love a person that you just refuse to see And when you told me you don’t want to live together I know exactly what you mean Beause why would you want to pay for dinner When you eat every night for free? I just don’t care at all That’s what I’m gonna say to you, when it is true When I no longer need a single thing from you.
