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 in 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
Oh, oh, I start again go back to one
Oh, oh, 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 about it
[Verse 10]
I'm taking names though one is mine
Yes, I'm gonna take my turn
It's time for me to finally stand alone, stand alone
[Verse 11]
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 am not afraid
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
On my own
