Ambient electro track with crooning lead vocal, plus acoustic touches from the dulcimer, leslie guitars, string section and a wall of backing vocals.

lyrics

I don't need love,
Its all superfluous.
I don't need love.
I'm aware of the consequences.
Run and hide,
Protect yourself,
Leave well alone
Abandon reason.
Fight desires,
Dampen fires
Do all you can,
To deny...

This is the beat, that my heart missed
Here is my longing, for tenderness
Here is my nature, I chose to ignore
That was my pride, crashing through the floor.
This is my weakness, and my regret
I am a sea of bitterness.

I don't need love,
Its all too complicated
I don't need love
Its always overrated.
Use your cunning,
Tell some lies,
Do all you can,
To deny...

This is the beat, that my heart missed
This is the glance, that I stole,
This is the thought, I dare not share.
These are the words, I will never speak.
This is the truth, only I can know.
I covet the prize, I can never win.
This is the ache, I feel inside.
These are my tears, I have yet to cry.
These are my tears, I have yet to cry.
