happiness doesn't depend on someone else providing it for you

Lyrics

DOING IT FOR MYSELF
(Claire Ulanoff/Will Hopkins)


Cleaning out the closet by the basement door
I ran across the Redsox cap, the one he always wore
That's when it hit me, it's almost been a year
Since he loaded up his truck and said "Babe, I'm out of here"
Well I sat there in the hallway and laughed until I cried
I guess it took losing him to make me realize

I'm stronger than I thought, and I found that strength inside
It's something you can't get from someone else
Feels like I'm living for the first time in my life
'Cause I'm doing it for myself

I'm doing all the little things I was always putting off
Finally reconnecting with friends I'd almost lost
I'm playing tennis in a league down at the local Y
And singing every Sunday with the Second Baptist choir
There's no one here to tell me what I can and cannot do
Wasn't sure if I could make it oh but now I'm living proof

(chorus)

Never thought I could be happy if I didn't have a man
But take a good look at me - apparently I can!

(chorus)
