Just Me and My Dog

Verse 1

I learned the hard way, standing on my own

Found my strength in the quiet when I’m alone

No noise, no crowds, no need to pretend

Just breathing in the moment, letting days end

I used to chase things I didn’t need

Looking for answers in someone else’s dreams

Now I wake up knowing where I belong

In the stillness, where I’ve been strong all along

Pre-Chorus

I don’t fear the silence

I don’t mind the road

Every mile reminds me

I’m already whole

Chorus

I learned to be independent

Learned to love myself

I’m okay being alone

I don’t need no one else

Just me and my dog

Under open skies

I travel on my own

And it feels just right

Yeah, I found my peace

In this life I chose

And I’ll keep walking forward

On my own roads

Verse 2

Suitcase by the door, sunrise in my eyes

No one telling me when, no one asking why

New cities, new streets, same calm inside

Freedom feels better when you don’t have to hide

I’ve learned my heart doesn’t need a crowd

I don’t measure my worth by being loud

I move at my pace, slow and true

Every step reminds me what I’ve been through

Pre-Chorus

I don’t need saving

I don’t need proof

Every scar I carry

Tells me the truth

Chorus

I learned to be independent

Learned to love myself

I’m okay being alone

I don’t need no one else

Just me and my dog

Under open skies

I travel on my own

And it feels just right

Yeah, I found my peace

In this life I chose

And I’ll keep walking forward

On my own roads

Bridge

Maybe one day someone walks beside me

Maybe not, and that’s alright

I won’t give up what I’ve built inside me

For something that don’t feel right

Final Chorus

I learned to be independent

Yeah, I know who I am

I like the quiet mornings

With a leash in my hand

Just me and my dog

Heart steady, soul strong

I travel alone

And I’ll keep moving on

This is my freedom

This is my home

And I’m proud of the life

I’ve learned to own
