i've got to do for me.

what part of "don't touch me" don't you understand? since you keep reaching out, and i keep slapping your hand away, you've got to figure that you're not doing much in the way of good for me right now.

oh, christ, don't take it personally. let's not make this into an "i don't need you anymore." take it at face value, and pay no attention to how what you used to give me was usually enough.

i swear, i'm not doing this to hurt you. i'm just taking the hits when i can and punching back into empty space.
