BE (without you)

tha time of day - im okay
is at home - when im alone
lying to myself
thinkin that - youll be back
there's no need - to worry
this break is just for my health

there's just no bein okay for me
and time doesnt heal shit
i can laugh - pretend im happy
but on the real, i wish...
i wish id...

move on
start believing im strong
just stop tryna hold on
and cause i breath without you
means that i can be without you
do me
for once and maybe ill see
that life is so fulfilling
once i learn its not about you
ill finally be without you...

the times im feeling my best are when
you're right here - keepin me near
to let everyone else know
that im taken - no mistakin
im property - im not me
and youll make sure it shows

this kinda thing isnt right for me
its not doin me no good
so maybe its best you're leavin me
cause if you didn't, i would...
i swear i would

move on
start believing im strong
just stop tryna hold on
and cause i breath without you
means that i can be without you
do me
for once and maybe ill see
that life is so fulfilling
once i learn its not about you
ill finally be...

me
ill finally be
not worry - just be
baby, ill be
for once i can be
no thinkin - just be
not "taken" - just me
maybe ill see

that being me is maybe, most likely what i needed all along
and me is all i've never had - all ill ever need from here on
and ill move to better, bigger, more healthy things in my life
you best believe that all ill worry about from here on is what's right

for me
start believing im strong
just stop tryna hold on
and cause i breath as me
means that i can finally
do me
for once and maybe ill see
that life is so fulfilling
once i learn its not about you
ill finally be

and its all thanks to you

tha story...

The rhyme scheme is really hard to understand until you hear the melody. Hit me up personally if you're interested. So it took alot to learn that I was too dependant on boyfriends. Iv'e never given myself the chance to just be single and focus on myself. This song isn't really meant for anyone - it's my own little personal anthem. While it sounds like a direct shot at whoever it's written about, it's not. This song is my declaration of self-reliance. It took alot for me to realize that it's okay to focus my energy on myself and I'm proud to finally be on my way. I'm not trying to be anyone's girlfriend - I don't wanna be anyone's prospect - Not interested in being a fling... I'm going to just be.

tha dedications...

Chino and Steve... I'm not the typical scornful ex-girlfriend: I'm not mad at you guys. Everything happens for a reason and I think it took both of you to teach me what I know now. My experiences with you taught me that it's okay to not be able to be there for everyone - it's okay to not want to be spread so thin - it's okay to hang up the People-Pleaser fa�ade - it's okay to be selfish. I can't thank you two enough.
