[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
