When I needed you there
You were elsewhere
When I started to cry
You waved me a goodbye
Then I was weak
But now I'm strong
So get out of my life
I got you all wrong
I don't give a damn
I am what I am
I'm a brand new me
Free to just be
You chose to abuse
And now you lose
This ain't no front
Kiss my confidence
Whilst my friends stay in
I'm out drinking gin
Not a care in this world
Within a society that's curled
I remain so strong
Whilst you remain gone
I'm never giving in
My life is for living
I don't give a damn
I am what I am
I'm a brand new me
Free to just be
You chose to abuse
And now you lose
You no longer make sense
Just kiss my confidence
