Holding My Own Hand

Yes, I know when you give out your love
 You don't give it to get any back
 But I'd hope that the person who needed me
 There would be there if I asked
 But what they don't tell you is that you don't need that
 I got so used to having a hand to hold
 I didn't know what to do
 When I thought in my darkest you'd be there
 But now I know that isn't true
 Guess you only want me when I'm there to fix you
 And the part that kills me is that I'd still love to
 But I just want to 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, hmm)
 At holding my own hand
 Learned my lesson, I tried and I tested
 And nothing I did I would change
 Now I'm here doing it all on my own
 And I feel more proud than in pain
 You know I'm still hurting and feel like I need you
 But I'm really learning how to love me without you
 I just want to thank you for not being there for me
 And I think you should know just what your selfishness has taught me
 And een 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, hmm)

 At holding my own hand
 Holding my own hand
 At holding my own hand
 And I get now that it just wasn't meant to be
 So don't bother saying sorry
 I just want to 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, hmm)
 At holding my own hand
 
 Holding my own hand (holding my own hand)
 At holding my own hand
