Forty days and nights without you
Your pillow doesn't make a sound
Was gonna leave, yeah I was about to
Just had to pick my heart up off the ground

And there you weren't, once again
When I needed you, gone with the wind
I took a deep breath,
Heard my heart cry for the last time
Now I'm living some kinda lie

I'm so glad that I'm standing tall
And I had no idea at all
But I'm happy that I made it,
Guess I'm brave after all
Didn't think I'd get away from you,
All the silly things you put me through
I thought I was good with you but I'm better by myself

Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Thought I was good with you but I'm better by myself
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Thought I was good with you but I'm better by myself

I don't fight anymore, that's not me, no
Never was, I was just used to it, oh so sad
Was the wrong kind of love that got me
Can't be mad, had to put myself through it

And there I was, once again
I met the real me, became my friend
I took a deep breath
Heard my heart cry for the last time
Now I'm living some kinda lie

I'm so glad that I'm standing tall
And I had no idea at all
But I'm happy that I made it,
Guess I'm brave after all
Didn't think I'd get away from you,
All the silly things you put me through
I thought I was good with you but I'm better by myself

Now that I'm not with you
I feel good in my own shoes
Didn't leave a mark, not at all
Now I've got no fear at all
This is some kinda lie

I'm so glad that I'm standing tall
And I had no idea at all
But I'm happy that I made it,
Guess I'm brave after all
Didn't think I'd get away from you,
All the silly things you put me through
I thought I was good with you but I'm better by myself

I'm so glad that I'm standing tall
And I had no idea at all
But I'm happy that I made it,
Guess I'm brave after all
Didn't think I'd get away from you,
All the silly things you put me through
I thought I was good with you but I'm better by myself

Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Thought I was good with you but I'm better by myself
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Thought I was good with you but I'm better by myself
Oh, I'm better by myself
