I'm falling apart for the third time,
This week but I know I'll be just fine,
I'm growing up with every step I take,
I'm on my own now but I know I'll be okay
And yeah,
I'll be okay,
At least that's what I tell myself anyways,
Haven't slept in nights,
But I know,
All you can do in this life is fight,
So I'll keep pushing on to something,
That may not be too clear yet,
But I,
Know I can't forget where I came from,
Where I came from
I'm falling apart for the third time,
This week but I know I'll be just fine,
I'm growing up with every step I take,
I'm on my own now but I know I'll be okay,
I still miss my family and my friends,
They'll be waiting for me at my sunny end,
I'll use this time to grow,
To prove to the world that I'm not afraid to be alone
It's been a long year,
We made it through the long nights and the stupid fights,
I'll say it didn't hurt and I don't miss you,
But even the greatest of liars can have the best of intentions,
And might I mention,
I'm doing fine,
Home was hard to leave,
But at least I'm not thinking about it all the time
But I won't stand alone (I'm not giving up),
And that's much different than it was a year ago (I'm not giving up),
I found a home here (I'm not giving up),
It's a place I love (I'm not giving up),
And even though I have to leave (I'm not giving up),
It'll always be a part of me (I'm not giving up),
And I'll do it running,
On my own feet.
