When I was alone with you
I'd sit and think of what we'd do
When we'd grow old and grey together
Hold you in my arms at night
That perfect space you'd fit so right
Knowing we could handle any weather
But then you walked away
And I don't know what to say
Or how to pick the pieces off the floor
Shattered glass, shattered dreams
Pull the thread, rip the seams
It seems we're not together anymore
So I face today
Knowing that I gotta be
A man only I can depend on
Yes, I face today
Knowing that it's down to me
To be the rock I can stand on
This life is mine and mine alone
This life is mine and mine alone
When you and I first started out
In my heart there was no doubt
I knew that you'd be mine forever
But life sure has a funny way
Our path ended that day in June
Since then every day's felt like December
I wish I knew what I did wrong
Sentenced to write this
A prison term of loneliness for me
But I hope he holds you like I did
Wish I could hate, but love forbids
Seems our epilogue wasn't meant to be
So I face today
Knowing that I gotta be
A man only I can depend on
Yes, I face today
Knowing that it's down to me
To be the rock I can stand on
This life is mine and mine alone
This life is mine and mine alone
This life is mine
