...With or Without You

I will love myself first

Cry these tears

As much as it hurts

Take the blame for my own faults

Even though

You've played your part

Look myself in the mirror

Address all of my flaws

Make the truth clearer

I'm the one in control

You broke my heart

But not my soul

Just because you let me down

Doesn't mean I can't rise

Just because you said I couldn't

Doesn't mean I wouldn't try

And just because you left

Doesn't mean I wouldn't do right...

... with or without you.
