starting over

what do you do when you finally start over

i cried for a while, realizing i finally took a stand
i don't need you anymore i'll hold my own hand

you never cared, not truly anyway
i don't need you anymore i'll find my own way

i loved you once upon a time
i don't need you anymore i'll be just fine

you clouded my thoughts with doubt
i don't need you anymore i'm turning my life around

i'll smell the flowers and take time to live
attention to my children i now can give

you're not a man just so you know
maybe you'll grow up now that i made you go

things are looking up now
to live happy i'll finally learn how

when you think of me i hope you cry
realizing all i did to try

i loved you and you didn't care
now i just look at you with a blank stare

no more emotion and no more tears
i'll love myself and push through my fears

you taught me something though
and with that i can grow

i didn't need you to make me who i am
i can do that on my own, i don't need you to make me happy
i can do that alone.......

all the tears i cried
knowing how hard i tried

i'm okay now, i'm starting over
