i'm gonna be alright

it's funny 'cause for a while

i walked around with a smile

but deep inside i could hear voices telling me this ain't right

don't you know it's not for you

i always knew what i had to do

but it's hard to get away

because i love you

i just tried to stay

i used to say i couldn't do it

but i did it

after telling everybody that i wasn't with it

though it brings tears to my eyes

i can feel it

and i know inside i'm gonna be alright

i said i couldn't do it

but i did it

after telling everybody that i wasn't with it

though it brings tears to my eyes

i can feel it

and that voice inside says i'm gonna be alright

friends of mine say to me

they say you got control over me

you're not alone

i played a part

i saw the way you were from the start

could i expect so much from you

you had a girl when i first met you

did the best that you could do

now i realize that i can't change you

i used to say i couldn't do it

but i did it

after telling everybody that i wasn't with it

though it brings tears to my eyes

i can feel it

and i know inside i'm gonna be alright

i said i couldn't do it

but i did it

after telling everybody that i wasn't with it

though it brings tears to my eyes

i can feel it

and that voice inside says i'm gonna be alright

said i wouldn't walk away

somedays i want to stay

but leaving you is what i need to do to be okay

never thought it would be true

me livin' without you

but now it's time for me to make a move

i used to say i couldn't do it

but i did it

after telling everybody that i wasn't with it

though it brings tears to my eyes

i can feel it

and i know inside i'm gonna be alright

i said i couldn't do it

but i did it

after telling everybody that i wasn't with it

though it brings tears to my eyes

i can feel it

and that voice inside says i'm gonna be alright
