What a scary thing,

To no longer care

When all I used to want

Was someone to be there.

Someone for me to hold,

Til the day that I grew old,

But now that I'm alone,

I want to stay on my own,

And live my life for me.

Never mind the troubles in my way.

They're in my past now,

And that is where they'll stay.

I'll take those pictures,

I'll take this ring,

I'll take all these other frivolous things,

And I'll throw them aside,

Just as you two did me.

I live my life for me.

I have my sights set higher,

On clearer, brighter skies.

From sunset to sunrise,

With a fire that never dies,

I'll chase my dreams with passion,

Hold my head up with pride,

And succeed in all I do,

As I take life in stride.

I live my life for me.
