For Once

by Samantha Lowe - Scorpio

Everything just died
After you left
Everything
But my heart

After the abuse
The lies
The usage
I just walked away 
From you
From the rest of my life
Just tried turning around
And finding a new aspect of life

I was through with the pain
And the excessive
Drawn out
Excuses
From guys not worth my time
I needed a change
And a change, I got

No more guys held up in my head
I don't have a crush 
Or someone I like from afar
No more pain when I see couples on the street
Holding hands and acting cute
I don't need all that right now

To be honest, I'm quite happy
Being on my own
And figuring out, for once,
That you don't need someone else to make you happy
Or someone else telling you how to spend your time
Yeah, for once, I can say, I'm living well

I'm in college now
The so-called best years of my life
I don't need anything but what I give myself
And I don't need you
Holding me down 
And breaking me.
