With out You

Baby You said I'd crumble like a castle of sand

Told me my world would fall without your hand

But here I stand

Breathing

Living

Unplanned

I’m walking streets you said I’d never find

With my own shadow

Not yours

Behind

Without you

Girl I’m still moving

Still alive

Without you

I’m still learning how to thrive

I’m not nobody

Not a ghost in the rain

Without you

Baby I’ve got everything to gain

Girl I called you once

Maybe twice

Maybe ten

Thought I’d need your voice to feel whole again

But my echoes answered

I found my zen

Baby You said I couldn’t

But look at me now

I’m not just surviving

I’m soaring somehow

Your words were chains

But I’ve broken free

I’m more than the “nobody” you thought I’d be

Baby

You said I'd crumble

I'd fade in the dark

That without you

I'd lose my spark

You left me broken

A shadow

A haze

Too small to climb out of those heavy days

Girl

look at me now

Stronger than before

I built wings from the pieces you tore

I call sometimes

Yeah

Caught in the pain

But I know I'm more than your leaving chain

I'm nobody to you

But I’m somebody to me

Standing tall where you said I couldn’t be

I begged

I pleaded

Then I lit my own fire

Turned the ashes of ‘us’ into my own desire

You said I couldn't get up off my knees

That I'd drown in forgotten memories

Still

I hear your laugh

That haunting sound

But I’m running on roads you never found

Living without you isn't what I planned

But I’ve learned to write lines with my own hand

Called you last night just to hear no reply

Still

I’m living instead of asking why

Baby I'm nobody to you

But I’m somebody to me

Standing tall where you said I couldn’t be

I begged

I pleaded

Then I lit my own fire

Turned the ashes of ‘us’ into my own desire

Girl Without you

I’m still moving

Still alive

Without you

I’m still learning how to thrive

I’m not nobody

Not a ghost in the rain

Without you

Baby I’ve got everything to gain,girl look at me now ,you said with out you id never get off my knees,girl how you like me now, without you I'm walking streets you said I'd never find
