holding my own hand (as written)

Yes I know when you give out your love you dont give it to get any back
But Id hope that person who needed me there would be there if I asked
But what they dont tell you is that you dont need that
I got so used to having a hand to hold I didnt know what to do
When I thought in my darkest youd be there but now I know that isnt true
Cause you only want me when Im there to fix you
When the part that kills me is that Id still love to
But I just wanna 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
At holding my own hand
Learned my lesson, I tried and I tested and nothing I did I would change
Now Im here doing it all on my own and I feel more proud than in pain
You know Im still hurting and feel like I need it
But Im merely learning how to love me without you
But I just wanna 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
At holding my own hand
And I get now that it just wasnt meant to be
So dont bother saying sorry
But I just wanna 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
At holding my own hand
