I held on to our life 360 for longer than I should have

Couldn’t bring myself to delete it

Couldn’t bring myself to to admit 

that I don’t need to know how far you were from picking me up

or when you'll get home

when you need to charge your phone

But that's over now

I deleted it

Cause I can admit 

That our door has closed

It’s out of my control


I’m growing

Without you

And I’m perfectly fine

Without you by my side


It's Crazy

Never would've believed

That I would be ok

Without asking you first what to say

 

I’m changing

Stronger now

So bold

doing it alone

 


I don’t need you,

Darling

I’m perfectly fine

Without you by my side 

 


I grieved you like you held the world

You grieved me like I was just some girl

I’m not, I taught you everything

The reason you passed biology

Held your hand under the sheets

Gave my shoulder for your head to lean


That really hurt me

Your apathy

But I’m over it now

Barely cried once this week

I’m growing

Without you

And I’m perfectly fine

Without you by my side


It's Crazy

Never would've believed

That I would be ok

Without asking you first what to say

 

I’m changing

Stronger now

So bold

doing it alone

 


I don’t need you,

Darling

I’m perfectly fine

Without you by my side

This song is about a friendship that ended. I knew it was over, but I couldn't let it go. I felt unappreciated and alone. But now, I'm perfectly fine.
