Out on My Own
Breaking Free: Embracing Independence from Untruths
Lyrics
I don't want to be here
I don't want to be in this current situation or place.
If you're gonna be here
If you are going to be present in this situation, I prefer not to be here.
'Cause I don't want to listen
I don't want to hear or pay attention to what you have to say.
To what you got to say about me
Specifically, I don't want to hear your opinions or comments about me.
And I don't want to dwell on
I don't want to focus on or think deeply about the things that occupy your mind.
The things you always dwell on
Referring to recurring thoughts or concerns that the other person has.
'Cause everything you dwell on
Everything you often think about seems to be false or not based on truth.
Seems to be untrue
Emphasizing the unreliability or lack of truth in the other person's thoughts.
I don't know just why you're crying
Expressing confusion about the reason for the other person's tears.
When all I want's to be out on my own
The speaker desires independence and wants to be alone.
I don't know just why you're crying
Repetition of the desire for solitude and independence.
When all I want's to be out on my own
Reiteration of the speaker's strong desire to be alone.
Gone are the days
Describing the past, possibly indicating the end of a romantic relationship.
Of making love to you and
Reflecting on intimate moments that are no longer part of the speaker's life.
Gone are the ways
Highlighting the disappearance of certain behaviors or actions from the past.
That you'd be untrue
Indicating that the other person used to be unfaithful or dishonest.
I don't know just why you're crying
Repeating the confusion about the other person's tears and emphasizing the speaker's desire for solitude.
When all I want's to be out on my own
Restating the speaker's strong desire to be alone and questioning the reason for the other person's tears.
I don't know just why you're crying
Repetition of the desire for independence and questioning the cause of the other person's crying.
When all I want's to be out on my own
Reiterating the speaker's strong desire to be alone and expressing confusion about the other person's tears.
