Stand Alone

Sometimes it gets so lonely,
I don't know what to do,
I thought I made the right choice,
I felt I was in love with you.

It's hard to pinpoint where and when,
our relationship went wrong
but now I know the end is near,
I have to be very strong.

My cries for help went unheard,
as we passed from year to year
as my feelings of insecurity grew
into a deeper sense of fear.

I knew I had to be left alone,
to come to terms with all I'd been through
I only wish you could have understood
and knew just what to do.

As the gap between us was growing
and the end was coming fast
I knew I had to stand alone
and learn to deal with all my past.

It's been two years since we parted
and I grow stronger every day,
I had the chance to stand alone,
was it right for me? I can only hope and pray
