I just wanna be alone tonight
I just wanna take a little breather
Cause lately all we do is fight
And every time it cuts me deeper

Cause something's changed
You've been acting so strange
And its taking its toll on me
Its safe to say that I'm ready to let you leave

[Chorus]
Without you, I live it up a little more everyday
Without you, I'm seeing myself so differently
I didn't wanna believe it then
But it all worked out in the end
When I watched you walk away
Well I never thought id say
I'm fine
Without you

Called you up cause it's been long enough
And you said that you were so much better
We have done a lot of growing up
We were never meant to be together

Cause something changed, you were acting so strange
And it's taken its toll on me
It's safe to say that I'm ready to let you leave

[Chorus]

Cause something changed, you were acting so strange
And it's taken its toll on me
It's safe to say that I'm ready to let you leave

[Chorus]

Without you
Without you
Without you
I just wanna be alone tonight,
I just wanna take a little breather.

    General Comment:This song makes me think of my recent ex...and the fact that whenever I wanted see her, or spend time with her...she was always too busy. We broke up several times, and we would try getting back together, but it was always the same result...we'd break up. I knew the relationship was not what I really needed...but I tried anyway with her...and it didn't work.

    Memory:Seven months ago, this song helped me breakup with my boyfriend of two years. I was always so hung up on being perfect for him, I forgot about making myself happy. Before long, I turned into the girl that thought she couldn't live without him when I had been such an independent person before. Our relationship became abusive, but I still stayed because I didn't know what I'd do without him. Finally I decided that I would be better off without him in so many ways. I told him that I didn't want to be together anymore, and I have never once questioned that decision. I wish him the very best in life and I still care about him immensely, but sometimes love just isn't enough, and that's what I think this song is about. Being in love doesn't make all the bad things in your relationship suddenly okay.

    My Interpretation:I can't even explain how appropriate this is for right now. When someone won't seem to get the point that you're better off apart. It's hard, and it sucks, yeah, but sometimes, isn't it better, and they'll thank you in the end? Because you live it up a little more every day, and no matter how much it hurts, they will at some point, too.

    General Comment:Reminds me of my ex fiance, after I moved back home and away from him, I changed and I was happier, I was able to do what I wasnt allowed with him, he would control me to the point where I couldnt go to school without him freaking out, I couldnt talk to my guy friends without him freaking out on me, it took everything out of me. Then finally after we broke up and I moved home offically I was able to be myself again, I thought I would never be okay without him but I am, I fell in love again, and I have friends who love me, and I am me and Im happier without him.
