Lyrics Holding My Own Hand (As Written) - Avery Lynch

Yes, I know when you give out your love
You don't give it to get any back
But I'd hope that the person who needed me
There would be there if I asked
But what they don't tell you is that you don't need that
I got so used to having a hand to hold
I didn't know what to do
When I thought in my darkest you'd be there
But now I know that isn't true
Guess you only want me when I'm there to fix you
And the part that kills me is that I'd still love to
But I just want to thank you for not being there for me
And I think you should know just what your selfishness has taught me
And even though it hurts like hell to feel alone again
Because of you, I got a chance at holding my own hand (mmm)
At holding my own hand (mmm, hmm)
At holding my own hand
Learned my lesson, I tried and I tested
And nothing I did I would change
Now I'm here doing it all on my own
And I feel more proud than in pain
You know I'm still hurting and feel like I need you
But I'm really learning how to love me without you
I just want to thank you for not being there for me
And I think you should know just what your selfishness has taught me
And even though it hurts like hell to feel alone again
Because of you, I got a chance at holding my own hand (mmm)
At holding my own hand (mmm, hmm)
At holding my own hand
And I get now that it just wasn't meant to be
So don't bother saying sorry
I just want to thank you for not being there for me
And I think you should know just what your selfishness has taught me
And even though it hurts like hell to feel alone again
Because of you, I got a chance at holding my own hand (mmm)
At holding my own hand (mmm, hmm)
At holding my own hand
