I Can Do It Alone
Hayden Panettiere · Other Songs - Hayden Panettiere
And you thought I went crazy,
But it just didn't make any sense to keep going.
(Now I know)
Yeah, I made some mistakes,
Time to start doing right.
(On my own)
You think you know me!
Chorus:
Do it myself, don't need you to show me how,
Gonna make my way and I'll do it now!
This time I won't need help from you,
That's what I'm gonna do.
Won't go back, gonna show you what I'm made of,
Can't hold me down, cause I will rise above.
Do this on my own, I can do it alone!
(I can do it alone!)
It won't be easy,
I know I have to find the way on my own,
But how do I get there?
Just believe in myself so I need to keep going!
(Now I know)
You can run from mistakes, turn around make it right!
(On my own)
I think I know me!
Chorus:
Do it myself, don't need you to show me how,
Gonna make my way and I'll do it now!
This time I won't need help from you,
That's what I'm gonna do.
Won't go back, gonna show you what I'm made of,
Can't hold me down, cause I will rise above.
Do this on my own, do it alone!
I treasure the times when you hold my hand,
The smiles that you gave me, the things you said.
But it's changing the way, I don't understand
Do you still need me?
Chorus:
Do it myself, don't need you to show me how,
Gonna make my way and I'll do it know!
This time I won't need help from you,
That's what I'm gonna do.
Won't go back, gonna show you what I'm made of,
Can't hold me down, cause I will rise above.
Do this on my own, I can do it alone!
(I can do it alone!)
