[Verse 1]
GAll the little pieces of Dmy heart
EmFlicker as they fall to the ground
CPerfectly Daskew just how I Glike
But you don't need a carry to Dsearch light
EmI can see them fine on my own
CPerfectly Dundone just how I Glike
[Re-chorus]
CSave your B7scissors
for Emthey are rusty now
I Cdon't need a lighthouse
to Dtry and show me how
[Chorus]
GI don't need a Dlifeboat
I'm Emlearning how to Cswim
It Gmay look like I'm Ddrowning
But I'm Emlearning how to Clive
GI don't need your Drescue
