For the Very First Time

I always needed you
Never knew what to do
And if I'd ever see the day
That you would walk away
I thought I'd fall apart
Wouldn't know where to start
And would I ever face my fears
Or drown in a sea of tears

Then it happened, you were there
Like a crazy kind of nightmare
I thought I'd cry, I thought I'd die
But I made it through and I survived

For the very first time
Here I stand all by myself
For the very first time
I don't need you or nobody else

Now I know that I'm strong
And you're the one who is wrong
To think that I'd rely
On your love to get by
Gonna make it on my own
Know my heart will find a home

I don't know how
But I'm living for now

But I made it through and I survived
For the very first time
Here I stand all by myself
For the very first time
I don't need you or nobody else
For the very first time
Here I stand all by myself
For the very first time
I don't need you or nobody else

Don't need
I don't need you or nobody else
I don't need
Don't need
Don't need you or nobody else

Then it happened, you were there
Like a crazy kind of nightmare
I thought I'd cry, I thought I'd die
But I made it through and I survived

For the very first time
Here I stand all by myself
For the very first time
I don't need you or nobody else
For the very first time
Here I stand all by myself
For the very first time
I don't need you or nobody else

For the very first time
For the very first time
I don't need you or nobody else
