i thought i saw you
stepped outside to have a smoke
saw a girl in your black coat
on the corner lost in her phone and i counted
i counted the hours since we last spoke
counted the times i told you that joke
counted the ways that i fucked things up with you
but it wasn't it you
no it wasn't you
now i know that you don't
need someone to walk you home
you don't need someone to give you their coat
you don't need some boy to light up your smoke
cuz you're doin' fine out on your own
you don't need someone to tell you to smile
you've been on your own for quite awhile
yeah, you're doing fine out on your own, doin' fine out on your own
thought i knew you
thought i knew how to treat you right
keep it hollywood and we'll be just fine
couldn't've been further from wrong
you really are one of a kind
opened doors into my mind
but it wasn't it you
no it wasn't you
now i know that you don't
need someone to walk you home
you don't need someone to give you their coat
you don't need some boy to light up your smoke
cuz you're doin' fine out on your own
you don't need someone to tell you to smile
you've been on your own for quite awhile
yeah, you're doing fine out on your own, doin' fine out on your own
