I Refuse To Be Lonely

I can't hold you like I want to

Can't hold you to the promises you make

You won't be here tonight or any other nightIt would be a lie to say I'm not afraid

But to be afraid is something that I've always been

The difference is this time I'm not giving inYes, I am alone, yes, I'm on my own

But for the first time in my life

I'm gonna carry on, yes, I'm gonna acheBut I will not break, some things I can choose

And baby I refuse to be lonely to be lonely

I can't change you, I can't blame youAnd this time, I'm not even gonna try

You do what you have to do

I'll do the same thing tooYou've got a right to say good-bye

But I've got a right to take care of myself

I realize that I come first before anyone elseYes, I am alone, yes, I'm on my own

But for the time in my life

I'm gonna carry on, yes, I'm gonna acheBut I will not break, some things I can choose

And baby, I refuse to be lonely

Lonely is a place I used to be

But I'm closing that door, I won't live there anymoreYes, I am alone, yes, I'm on my own

But for the first time in my life

I'm gonna carry on, yes, I'm gonna acheBut I will not break, some things I can choose

And baby, I refuse to be lonely

To be lonely, to be lonely
