In Her Own Words – With Or Without You lyrics

I'm starting over, I'm moving on
The me you thought you knew is dead and gone
This was never about you, it was always about me
And who I want to be
You resist the winds of change
That carry me over waves into a different terrain
I've sailed past you and now I'm not looking back
To the life I left at last

When you said you were in it for the long run
You let me down
You disappeared again but this time it's for good
I'll face this alone
You'll never know what it's like
To carry the weight of the world on your shoulders
Forgotten all of your values and promises
And abandoned your trusted friends
Like we never meant a thing
(We can do this with or without you)

And now you want me to go back?
It's not that I won't, it's just that I can't
It's too late to turn this ship around
As it's captain if it sinks, I drown
Our course is set just like my mind
And in the end you'll come out behind
I've sailed past you and now I'm not looking back
To life I left at last

We've changed for the better, we write what comes out
We scream our lungs out, we don't wanna be anybody but ourselves
We don't try to please anybody but ourselves
We've changed for the better
Learn to forgive but we'll never forget
All the people who tried to pull us down
We'll keep this moving with our feet on the ground
