This song is in celebration of endings. I happened to be getting out of a few bad friendships/relationships at the time and I was inspired to put down my thoughts.

alone again
i can finally breathe
alone again
no one tugging on my sleeve
i can stretch
i can reach
no one else to worry about
no one else to teach
no one else to teach
my own entity, finally
maybe i always was
maybe i just finally figured out
i'm the shit cuz

i can go it on my own
i can do it on my own
just took fresh eyes to realize
i'm the one i need to love
just want to get back what i give
want to take this time now to
learn how to live

all by myself
explore the day
all by myself
get to go it my own way
no one to wait on
no one to call
no one else to think about
i can do it all
i feel alive
alive and strong
no one else to pass it through
no one else to tell me that i'm wrong

i can go it on my own
i can do it on my own
just took fresh eyes now i realize
i'm the one i need to love
just want to get back what i give
want to take this time to
learn how to live
