I thought I was lost, but that wasn’t true
I can do so well without you

I thought I always needed someone to complete me
I couldn’t stand alone like a big, old tree

Maybe I’m kidding myself just to be better off,
But it’s sure working, my mind is tough

Here I am, standing tall and alone
Though I’ll never be better with you gone

I’m so strong without you, its true
I can fly solo, and I never even knew

I’m so strong by myself, just me
You’ll be back, but for now, I’m free as can be
