Call it a victim of circumstance
It's hard to understand
I love you, yes I do
I know you wanna be with me
But I got issues to free
I need to take care of me
I want you to do the same
Stop thinking that I will change
Remember the times
Keep saying those lines
I'm sorry, it's bad timing
Baby I'm not ready to be
Baby it's ok to leave
(I just can't be with you) like you need me to be
I hate to say it go on and look outside of me
You'll find you just might be happy without me (without me), without me (without me)
I need some time alone to breathe
You're my shining star I would love you baby wherever you are
Even if it has to be (even if it has to be) without me
Nothing compares to you
Nobody can fill your shoes
Forever your friend I'll care til the end
So today be strong and keep on moving on
I know you'll be the best that you can be
You gotta know it's me not you
I still got work to do
I'm not the man I'm supposed to be (no)
I'm trying to be complete
This is really what I need
Please understand me (no)
I'm not who you want me to be
I hate to say it go on and look outside of me (look outside of me)
You'll find you just might be happy without me (without me), without me (without me)
I need some time alone to breathe
You're my shining star I would love you baby wherever you are
Even if it has to be (even if it has to be) without me
I'm doing you wrong
If I keep you around I'll be playing us both
Baby please go on do your thing
Don't even think about me
Go on be and be
I gotta get my head together
Be alone, go be grown
Learn how to be a man
I need you to understand
Go on without me
Baby why can't you see
This is not you, just me
I love you but I gotta let go (I gotta let go, go, go)
As selfish as it may seem
I just want a better me
I don't wanna hurt you girl no
Baby it's ok to leave
(I just can't be with you) like you need me to be (it's ok to leave)
I hate to say it go on and look outside of me (look outside of me)
You'll find you just might be happy without me, without me
I need some time alone to breathe
(I just can't be with you) like you need me to be (like you need me to be)
I hate to say it go on and look outside of me (look outside of me)
You'll find you just might be happy without me, without me
Without me (oh oh oh oh)
(Oh oh oh oh)
