Lyrics of Standing

Well, there could've been a better way
But you had to push me away to be alone
How come the things that i can't touch
Are the things that hurt so much, well, i'll never know

Three days under my belt
And i can't remember the last thing you said
But you were 15 inches away from me when you said it

You mumbled something 'bout you and me
The land of the free under the same breath
Well, i already knew, i already knew you were fading

There could've been a better way
But you had to push me away to be alone
How come the things that i can't touch
Are the things that hurt so much, well, i'll never know

'cause i'm already standing here on my own
And i don't understand it baby, just what went wrong

Three days under my belt
And i'm staring at the ceiling once again
And your closure is just ripping me wide open

And i wanna scream
But i know it won't bring you back to me
So your independence wins
I hope you're finding out what the hell that is

And there could've been a better way
But you had to push me away to be alone
How come the things that i can't touch
Are the things that hurt so much, well, i'll never know

'cause i'm already standing here on my own
I don't understand it baby, just what went wrong

Don't you look for me, don't you cry for me 'cause i'm alright
Something new begins when something ends
Well, i'm alright 'cause it's what you gotta do
Just, so you understand, i'm standing, i'm standing

But there could've been a better way
But you had to push me away to be alone
How come the things that i can't touch
Are the things that hurt so much, well, i'll never know

And i shoulda tried to change your mind
But i didn't feel you still were mine, so i let it go
I'm already standing here on my own
And i don't understand it baby, just what went wrong

So take one good look at me before you move on
I'm standing, i'm standing, i'm standing, i'm standing where i belong
