some time for myself

i just needed some time to myself
yeah, that's all i wanted
some time to myself
just alone
of course without anyone
yeah, just what i wanted
just what i needed

and it's still been so hard
yet it's always been so hard
to look at you and say "no"
thinking you would stay with me
just dreaming you wouldn't go
but you do
just like everybody else

and it's not like i'm on a verge of tears
i've been through this for many years
so it makes no difference
yet the hardest part for you
is just to be
you know i don't belong
but you don't have to rub salt in my wound
i could just keep myself shut
wouldn't matter that much
cause here i am
all by myself
i just needed this time to myself
that was all i ever wanted
just for you to leave me alone

leave me alone
