"On My Own"

I layed on the cold basement floor

Hands wrapped around my face

And I tried to forget what I had just done

I tried to make up for the fact

That as much as I hated you as a person

I was you

And while I had thrown the towel in

I was doing exactly what you would have done

And that was the day

That I cried becasue I was grieving

The fact that I was so torn

And I finally admitted something was wrong

Out-loud for someone to hear

I layed there numb for those moments

Becasue she had walked away

She couldn't help me

No one could

[I intended on making up for lost time]
And now whenever you make your empty comments

I laugh

I laugh at the fact that I stopped fate

Dead in its tracks

Spun it around and gave it back to you

Because I've finally opened my eyes

And left you alone

Because I'm old enough to guess that

If I hold your hand forever

You will never let go

I picked my head up from my hands

And stood with my feet facing in the direction I couldn't see looking from your eyes

I made my way to the steps

And took my first step

On my own
