Standing

There coulda been a better way
But you had to push me away to be alone
How come things that I can't touch
Are things that hurt so much
Well I'll never know
Three days under my belt and I can't remember
The last thing you said
But you were 15 inches away from me when you said it
You mumbled something 'bout you and me,
the land of the free, under the same breath
But I already knew, I already knew you were fading
Well there coulda been a better way
But you had to push me away to be alone
How come things that I can't touch
Are things that hurt so much
But I never know
'Cause I'm already standing here on my own
And I don't understand it baby
Just what went wrong
Three days under my belt
And I'm staring at the ceiling once again
And your closure is just a ripping me wide open
And I wanna scream
But I know it won't bring you back to me
So your independence wins
I hope you're findig' out what the hell that is
Well it coulda been a better way
But you had to push me away to be alone
How come things that I can't touch
Are things that hurt so much
But I never know
'Cause I'm already standing here on my own
And I don't understand it baby
Just what went wrong
Don't you look for me
Don't you cry for me, 'cause I'm all right
Something new begins when something ends
Well, I'm all right, 'cause it's what you gotta do
Just so you understand
I'm standing
I'm standing
Well there coulda been a better way
But you had to push me away to be alone
How come things that I can't touch
Are things that hurt so much
But I never know
I shoulda tried to change your mind
But I didn't fix it with mine, so I let it go
I'm already standing here, on my own
And I don't understand it baby
Just what went wrong
So take one good look at me before you move on
I'm standing
I'm standing
I'm standing
I'm standing
Where I belong
