Lyrics of I refuse to be lonely

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 to be lonely
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
To be lonely, to be lonely
