Lyrics:

Another little abuse
Another pointless excuse
Another joke that’s not to laugh at
Another day . feeling like I don’t belong
I really don’t . belong

So, I end another day feeling totally betrayed
Say hello to anger - did you miss me?
I know it so well like a long time friend
Who smiles while poisoning me

And I don’t know . if they . still love me
And I don’t know . if they still care
But all I really know . is I . am sorry
I let you make me grow so un - prepared
I’m pulling at the root to tear you off me
To see if I’ll have something left
And even if it means I’m starting over
And everything I made with you means nothing
Well that doesn’t matter

I’m alone and I’m free
Cuz there’s nothing really wrong with me
And I know it doesn’t matter, no matter what they tell me
Done living for someone else’s time on someone else’s dime
So I’m drawing my line in the sand
Cuz I know it doesn’t matter

Another thing to remake
Another patient mistake
Another self humiliation
A better day . happy that I won’t belong
Does anyone . belong?

So, I end a lonely day feeling totally okay
Wave goodbye to anger - will you miss me?
I knew it so well like a long time friend
We’ll never be friends again.

I don’t really know . if they . still love me
And I don’t know . if they still care
But all I really know . is I’m . not sorry
Cuz I am on my own with no one there
To make me feel alone when they are with me
It sounds insane but au contraire
I’m cutting off the parts that kill the body
Because they never played me fair and square and
I feel fucking awesome

I’m alone and I’m free
Cuz there’s nothing really wrong with me
And I know it doesn’t matter, no matter what they tell me
Done living for someone else’s time on someone else’s dime
So I’m drawing my line in the sand
Cuz I know it doesn’t matter

I don’t really think . about . your love now
And I don’t think . that I still care
I know without a doubt . if you. could see me
I would ruin your week, your month, your year
Cuz you don’t have a victim you can poison
So now the poison’s all you have
I’m living a new life and don’t regret it
And you just have the memory
Bet you’ll never forget it because now

I’m alone and I’m free
Cuz there’s nothing really wrong with me
And I know it doesn’t matter, no matter what they tell me
Done living for someone else’s time on someone else’s dime
So I’m drawing my line in the sand
Cuz I know it doesn’t matter (do they even know what love is)
Yeah I know it doesn’t matter (are they growing tired of this)
Yeah I know it doesn’t matter (on my own I’ll float above this)
And I don’t really know...

[Ender-Logan]

"hey tlt when's the next song coming o-"
"oh the entire album? yeah, here"

[Sr_BlahBlahBlah]

"I know it doesn't matter"
The way he sings that reminds of the Epoch remix.

[bomcaa]

Anger is everyone's long time friend at a certain point in life

[Blackbird]

This song is kinda of the antithesis of "Love i need", one is the sadness in being alone, while the other is the freedom...

[verrrrrr.]

'wow! this song is really relatable!'
'wow, this song is really relatable...'

[TheBadDeadFox]

*_Wow, this is such a beautiful song about toxic relationships..._*

[GippyHappy]

"Cuz you don’t have a victim you can poison. So now the poison’s all you have."
I really love that line. That's just exactly how it is, they thrive off hurting others, when you take that away they are forced to face how miserable they really are.

[nexonsartori]

“Cuz you don’t have a victim you can poison / So now that poison’s all you have”
This is the most powerful line in this song, to me.

Out of all The Living Tombstone songs I listen to regularly, I probably identify with this one the most. I honestly fear loneliness more than anything else, I'm always second-guessing myself when it comes to following my passions because I think it might make people stop interacting with me and I'll be alone. My favorite line in the song is "To make me feel alone when they are with me" because it makes me realize that, at the same time, I feel alone anyway when being with people I fear retribution from. So if someone just sees the false version of myself, are they really even with me? I guess I don't really know for sure, maybe I'll never know.
I'm also kind of glad that this comment will get lost in the sea of others, I know that sounds like a backhanded complaint, but it actually helps me get it off my chest if I'm more or less shouting into a void that few people will see.

*im 90% sure this song is literally the sequel to drunk*

[Stennishh]

us: TLT give us more songs!
TLT: ok
**7 songs later**
us: oh

[viciousbee]

hmm i see a pattern
ordinary life
drunk
long time friends
hmmm

[gliple]

I can already tell this album is a banger

[hush]

TLT is it's own genre at this point

[RegalRoyalWasTaken]

I don't think I've ever so fiercely identified with a song before.

I've undergone... a lot of emotional abuse and manipulation by people who claimed they were my friends when really I was just a means to an end, a way to get some short lived satisfaction by pressuring me into doing things and draining me dry of any motivation I had to do much of anything. Eventually I cut them out of my life one by one, and naturally they all whined and complained I was being unfair to them, but I didn't give them the benefit of the doubt, because I knew giving them a chance to explain themselves and to 'apologize' would just pull me back into a cycle of abuse I needed to break.

Nowadays, I'm living a decent life. My YouTube channel has been slowly growing, I have a boyfriend who loves me and who I love back, and I have a pretty cool project in the works that's been coming along amazingly.

So to have all that, that entire journey, expressed through a song is... meaningful to me.

Thanks Tombstone. I know this wasn't made specifically for me, and you'll probably never see this comment, but thanks anyway. Keep doing what you do, because what you bring to this world cannot be replaced.

Cheers, your loyal fan,

Royal

i think this song is my favorite, but the entire album is incredible, so i can’t decide

[shadowtheglitch]

Omg I'm still listening to Love I Need- time for another song addiction!

[AppleminiJast]

I can't help but think that the lyric : "Cause I know it doesn't matter" (1:04) is a tribute to the song Epoch (2:54). The lyrics are nearly the same and the way the words are said in both songs are nearly identical.
