Lyrics
[Verse 1]
If you were meant to be together
Then you would know that it's right
After all this time
You'd be by his side
And if it were meant to be forever
You'd still be living in that dream
So it seems
So for all the times you cried
And the many times he lied
I tell you 'cause I know
You can make it on your own, yeah
[Verse 2]
So your heart belongs to you now
And you know that it's right
Free from that make-believe love story
In your mind (In your mind, in your mind)
You're so much better off
Leavin' yesterday behind
But always (Remember), always (Remember)
Hold on to love
[Verse 3]
So for all of your regret
That your heart won't let you forget
(Won't let you forget)
I can tell you 'cause I know
You can make it on your own
[Verse 4]
You'll be wiser in the morning
So much stronger when the sun rises
So don't find your fear alarming
Your pain will dissipate by nightfall
When the rain comes
The pain goes
Wash it away
The remains of a battered soul
(Trouble won't) Trouble won't last always
Believe me, there'll be brighter days
So for all the times you cried (Every single tear)
For every single time you tried
I know, 'cause I know, 'cause I know
You can make it on your own, yeah, yeah
[Verse 5]
You can make it on your own
Own, own
Hey, yeah, yeah
You can make it on your own
'Cause I know, 'cause I know
Yeah, yeah
You can make it on your own
Hear what I say, yeah, yeah
