Here Without You

Feeling all alone
nothing left to do
I thought I would be happy
here away from you

I'm torn between two places
between real and just pretend
I know this is what I wanted
so now I have to bend

It's a whole new world without you
from experience I can speak
Staying with a friend is OK I guess
Yet life without a mother is oblique

I guess I'm talking about you
as if you had passed and gone
but I truly do not mean to
my life has become a sad song

I know that all I asked
was for independence from you
and now that you have given me that
my heart is turning blue
