I don’t really know why you should stay
But I feel like maybe you should
I see you there as you walk away
You don’t know you misunderstood
Now let me say this loud and clear
There’s no one else anywhere
That can make me as proud
As I am in my love for her
She’s why I wake up everyday
And try my best
She’s why I turned my back on you
And everyone else
She’s always been right by my side
But deep inside, I can not hide
From the feelings that pulse from within
She’s my partner now
And I must win
But even as I try to explain
I see her eyes
And I know I can’t contain
All of the reasons why
She has to go be on her own
She’s isn’t mine now
And maybe never was
So she leaves I say to myself
That it’s for the best
There’s worse things for me to be
Than on my own
And I’ve been most of them once or twice
Something new will happen tomorrow
But can I be sure
That I’ll be where I need to be
When the clock strikes twelve
