Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I'm wiser now

I'm not the foolish girl you used to know

So long ago

[Verse 2]

I'm stronger now

I've learned from my mistakes which way to go

And I should know

[Verse 3]

I put myself aside to do it your way

But now I need to do it all alone

[Verse 4]

And I am not afraid to try it on my own

I don't care if I'm right or wrong

I'll live my life the way I feel

No matter what, I'll keep it real, you know

Time for me to do it on my own

[Verse 5]

It's over now

I can't go back to living through your eyes

Too many lies

[Verse 6]

And if you don't know by now

I can't go back to being someone else

Not anymore

[Verse 7]

I never had the chance to do things my way

So now it's time for me to take control

[Verse 8]

And I am not afraid to try it on my own

I don't care if I'm right or wrong

I'll live my life the way I feel

No matter what, I'm gonna keep it real, you know

Time for me to do it, oh

[Verse 9]

I start again, go back to one

I'm running things in my way

Can't stop me now, I've just begun

Don't even think about it

There ain't no way around it

[Verse 10]

I'm taking names, the one who is mine

Yes, I'm gonna take my turn

It's time for me to finally stand alone

Stand alone

[Verse 11]

I am not afraid to try it on my own

And I don't care if I'm right or wrong

I'll live my life the way I feel

No matter what, I'm gonna keep it real, you know

It's time for me to do it

[Verse 12]

See, I'm not afraid to try it on my own

And I don't care if I'm right or wrong

I'll live my life the way I feel

No matter what, I'm gonna keep it real, you know

It's time for me to do it on my own

[Verse 13]

On my own
