Holding My Own Hand

Yes, I know when you give out your love You don't give it to get any back But I'd hope that the person who needed me There would be there if I asked But what they don't tell you is that you don't need that I got so used to having a hand to hold I didn't know what to do When I thought in my darkest you'd be there But now I know that isn't true Guess you only want me when I'm there to fix you And the part that kills me is that I'd still love to But I just want to thank you for not being there for me And I think you should know just what your selfishness has taught me And even though it hurts like hell to feel alone again Because of you, I got a chance at holding my own hand (mmm) At holding my own hand (mmm, hmm) At holding my own hand Learned my lesson, I tried and I tested And nothing I did I would change Now I'm here doing it all on my own And I feel more proud than in pain You know I'm still hurting and feel like I need you But I'm really learning how to love me without you I just want to thank you for not being there for me And I think you should know just what your selfishness has taught me And een though it hurts like hell to feel alone again Because of you, I got a chance at holding my own hand (mmm) At holding my own hand (mmm, hmm) At holding my own hand Holding my own hand At holding my own hand And I get now that it just wasn't meant to be So don't bother saying sorry I just want to thank you for not being there for me And I think you should know just what your selfishness has taught me And even though it hurts like hell to feel alone again Because of you, I got a chance at holding my own hand (mmm) At holding my own hand (mmm, hmm) At holding my own hand Holding my own hand (holding my own hand) At holding my own hand
