Not long ago I went out looking for you.

I needed love. Someone to live my life through.

I never stopped to think that maybe I should start by asking myself why.

I spent so much time believing that love would make me whole.

I was wrong so I’ll be leaving.

I have another goal.

I’ll learn to love myself before I try with someone else.

I believe that if I look I’ll find-

A way to keep from leaving me behind.

I do believe that love can bring you joy.

You have to be strong or that love can destroy what you already are alone. Sometimes you’re better on your own.

I spent so much time believing that love would make me whole.

I was wrong so I’ll be leaving.

I have another goal.

I’ll learn to love myself before I try with someone else.

I believe that if I look I’ll find-

A way to keep from leaving me.

So it’s no use if you’re asking me to stay.

If we’re supposed to be then love will find a way.

And if I need someone to help me find a place for me to see what I believe, I’ll believe in me.

I spent so much time believing that love would make me whole.

I was wrong so I’ll be leaving.

I have another goal.

I’ll learn to love myself before I try with someone else.

I believe that if I look I’ll find-

A way to keep from leaving me behind.

I’ve been believing. In you believing.

I was wrong so I’ll be leaving.
