[Chorus] 
There could've been a better way 
But you had to push me away to be alone 
How come the things that I can't touch 
Are the things that hurt so much 
Well I'll never know 
3 days under my belt and I can't remember the last 
thing you said 
But you were 15 inches away from me 
You mumbled something 'bout you and me 
The land of the free under the same breath 
Well, I already knew 
I already knew you were fading 
 
[Chorus] 
 
'Cause I'm already standing here on my own  
And I don't understand it baby just what went wrong 
3 days under my belt  
I'm staring at the ceiling once again 
Your closure is just 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 finding out what the hell that is  
 
[Chorus] 
 
[Bridge] 
Don't you look for me  
Don't you cry for me 'cause I'm alright 
Something new begins when something ends 
I'm alright 'cause it's what you gotta do  
Just so you understand 
I'm standing 
 
[Chorus] 
 
And there could've been a better way 
But you had to push me away to be alone 
How come the things that I can't touch 
Are the things that hurt so much  
guess I'll never know 
And I shoulda tried to to change your mind 
But I didn't feel you still were mine so I let it go 
'Cause 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 where I belong
