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
