I remember it all so well
Waking up with an empty heart
Knowing this was the very first day
We'd spend the rest of our lives apart

I didn't know my direction
I was, a little scared,
A little lonely inside
With my eyes wide open
I was looking forward
To the rest of my life

And here I am
I did it without you
Made myself a better life
Here I am
Living without you
Be the one left behind
I never knew I could feel so free
I can be just me
Here I go
What do you know
Here I am

Clock is ticking and I'm no wife
Got to live life while I can, yea
Don't need nobody dragging me down
Got my feet out of the sand
Don't wanna make no sacrifice
No excuses, no regrets
I put one foot in front of the other
And I haven't stopped runnin', yeah

And here I am
I did it without you
Made myself a better life
Here I am
Living without you
Be the one left behind
I never knew I could feel so free
I can be just me
Here I go
What do you know
Here I am
Here I am

Oh, here I am
Did it without you
Made myself a better life
Here I am
Living without you
Be the one left behind
I never knew I could feel so free
I can be just me
Here I go
What do you know
Here I am
Oh, here I am
