I can't hold you Like i want to Can't hold you to the promises you make You won't be here tonight Or any other night It would be a lie to say i'm not afraid But to be afraid is something That i've always been The difference is this time i'm not giving in Yes i am alone Yes i'm on my own But for the first time in my life I'm gonna carry on Yes, i'm gonna ache But i will not break Some things i can choose And baby i refuse To be lonely x2 I can't change you I can't blame you And this time i'm not even gonna try You do what you have to do I'll do the same thing too You've got a right to say good-bye But i've got a right to take care of myself I realize that i come first before anyone else Yes, i am alone Yes, i'm on my own But for the time in my life I'm gonna carry on Yes, i'm gonna ache But i will not break Some things i can choose And baby i refuse To be lonely Lonely is a place i used to be But i'm closing that door I won't live there anymore Yes, i am alone Yes, i'm on my own But for the first time in my life I'm gonna carry on Yes, i'm gonna ache But i will not break Some things i can choose And baby i refuse To be lonely x3
