[Intro]

The sun is up, the road is clear

Reaching for you

You're wide awake, I'm fast asleep

But I know what's on your mind, what's in your head

Just don't come back for me to save you


[Chorus]

Go if you want

'Cause I'll be fine here on my own

Take it all if you have to

I can make my own new home


[Verse 1]

Yeah

She broke up with him, said "He don't deserve me"

Independently said I don't need a man to help me firstly

Worst part for her is when she left, she lost the car keys

Months go on, yeah, she's doin' the daily

Thinks about him here and there

He got a new girl with the name Cher

She's actin' like she doesn't care

But deep down, back then she thought they'd never get there

Future plan, months ago, the present was so unprepared

Little did she know if she was still there, he never would have gotten here

But they say what doesn't kill you makes you that much stronger

That's the truest shit

Life's just a curvy road that we gotta learn to bend with

Life's just a bitch that we'll never be friends with

And if she is—the chances are you sold your soul

Life's no fun when your heart has gone cold

So you could be fake and make so many other same mistakes

Or you could keep your feet in place instead of countin' the cake


[Chorus]

Go if you want

'Cause I'll be fine here on my own

Take it all if you have to

I can make my own new home


[Verse 2]

Years go on, yeah, she's off in college

Makin' sure to find out your aspects of a life [?]

She's doin' her no matter if the world is there to watch it

She gets home after a late night with her friends out on the town

Still lookin' for a man that's as nice as her wedding gown

Jumps on the couch, grabs the remote, flips the TV on

Choosin' between TLC and MTV to see what's on

Music awards, got some white rapper interview chat

Must be lame 'cause that kid on stage ain't even black

Flips it back, whoa now, wait a second, damn

Who the fuck was that? She remembers that face

He went to her high school, in fact

Takes a second, has a laugh, retracin' the childhood tracks

In the moment she realizes with her jaw dropped in a gasp

It was the man she gave up on, closed caption read "Abstract"


[Chorus]

Go if you want

'Cause I'll be fine here on my own

Take it all if you have to

I can make my own new home
