Going Solo

A song about picking yourself up and moving on

Your jaw still drops every time she walks your way,
until it hits you that she's not yours today
And here's the part that's worst to confess-
She used to love you, now she couldn't care less

You're walking away, but you're not whole
and what's left of your heart just can't fight the cold
So pull your coat tight, this winter's gonna be long
and you could slip through the ice if you put a foot wrong

Because it seems you're going solo now
You were with her, now you're just without
The wound's still fresh, only time can heal
while you remember how to feel

You've got another ten rounds ahead, but you're in no shape to compete
you pick yourself up off the ground just to get knocked back off your feet
They all know it's hard, they say you've just got to be tough
when all you can do is hang on 'til the bell says you've done enough

So it seems you're going solo now,
You were with her, now you're just without
The wound's still fresh, only time can heal
while you remember how to feel

Later on, when you've stood more than you can stand,
you look up and see a sad friend reaching out her hand
You pull her in close, let her know you feel her pain
But it's time for you both to let it all go and go for a walk in the rain

So you're done going solo now
you're not with her, but it all worked out
It's true what they say, that time does heal
and you finally figured out how to feel
