[Verse 1]
I leave one plate
Wash one cup
One side of the bed
Stays tucked up
Key in my hand
Door clicks shut
Just me and the room
And all that stuff
[Pre-Chorus]
No one to call
No one to wait
No footsteps back
No second plate
I hear my name
Inside the hall
It lands on me
And that is all
[Chorus]
By myself
I make it through
By myself
I face the truth
By myself
I pick up the pieces
By myself
I keep on breathing
By myself
By myself
I stand my ground
By myself
I don't back down
[Verse 2]
The chair stays cold
The sink runs slow
I fold my shirt
In a quiet row
Mail on the mat
One name, mine
I read it once
Then read it twice
[Pre-Chorus]
No one to call
No one to wait
No open hand
At the gate
I hear my name
Inside the hall
It lands on me
And that is all
[Chorus]
By myself
I make it through
By myself
I face the truth
By myself
I pick up the pieces
By myself
I keep on breathing
By myself
By myself
I stand my ground
By myself
I don't back down
[Bridge]
If I fall
I rise alone
If I break
I mend my bones
No borrowed skin
No borrowed skin
Just my own heart
And where it's been
[Final Chorus]
By myself
I make it through
By myself
I face the truth
By myself
I pick up the pieces
By myself
I keep on breathing
By myself
By myself
I stand my ground
By myself
I don't back down
