You try to read me
You try to figure out
You try to breathe me
But you can't blow me out
You try to feel me
But I'm so out of touch
I won't be falling
You won't have to pick me up

Why do you look at me the way you do? Like you're expecting me to crash and fall. Like you are just waiting for me to crumble and break. Just so you can come to my rescue. Just so you can again prove to me that I need you. Keep staring. Keep trying to get inside my head.

Sorry If I sound confused
Don't feel the way you do
But I won't turn around
I won't turn around

This time I won. This time I'm not the one feeling low or sorry. You think you can beat me. I still see the smug look on your face. I can close my eyes. I can turn around. If I want to I can walk away. I can leave you so far behind. Leave you staring at my left tracks. You say my words are contradicting. I don't think so. But even if they were, it's not your problem anymore.

I'm not going back to you.

Think that I might back down
but I won't
Think that I might have doubts
but I don't
No insecurities
Won't you just let me let me be

I know what I told you. I know I said goodbye. I meant what I said.

"You'll fail, you'll fall. You need me."

"No, I know this time.."

Think that you know me now
but you don't
Think that I can't stand on my own
Aint my philosophy
won't you just let me let me be

"You know nothing but me."

"I know a hell of a lot more than you. I know me!"

She laughed at me. She thinks I can't make it on my own. She thinks I belong to her. All that pain she caused, she still believes I made her give me. Once I made up my mind, I won't go back on it. I can't. It's not me.

Trusting my instincts
Trust I know what's right
These are the reasons
That keep you up at night
Tell me go slow
This is my flow
Cause you don't know
know what I know
Let me tell you how it feels
Baby it's time that you see me for real

Sorry if I sound confused
Don't feel the way you do

I know what I'm doing is right. I know leaving you is the best thought I've ever had. You could love me better than you ever have, and it still won't change my mind. All those words I said to you. You know how much truth is in them. You know that's the real you, that's why you can't sleep.

Now it's time for you to be alone.

Feel what I felt for so long. Feel that loneliness baby. Ain't it hell?

But I won't turn around
But I won't turn around

Think that I might back down
but I won't
Think that I might have doubts
but I don't
No insecurities
Won't you just let me let me be

Think that you know me now
but you don't
Think that I can't stand on my own
Aint my philosophy
won't you just let me let me be

All I can do is laugh. You had it coming. If you had treated me better, you would still have me. Sit in your smug thoughts. Keep thinking I'll come back.

I know I don't need you. I'm me now, I'm no longer trying to be you. Trying to please you. Be everything you want me to be. I know I'm too good for you.

Trust that i know
this is my show
Letting you know
Gotta go the way I go
Trust that I know
this is my show
Letting you know
Gotta go the way I go

Watch me. Watch this person you believe was worthless. Watch me be me. Watch me be happy. Look at me. My smile, my laugh. It's so much more than you could have ever given me. Look at how free I am. You are the one who is nothing.

Think that I might back down
but i won't
Think that I might have doubts
but I don't
No insecurities
Won't you just let me let me be

Think that you know me now
but you don't
Think that I can't stand on my own
Aint my philosophy
won't you just let me let me be
