I spent years and all of this time
Thinkin' I was better off
'Cause you were mine
You always said it was your way or the highway
So i shifted my life into drive
Gettin' out kissin' my past goodbye
Like Toby said how do ya like me now
This conversation has run dry 
And I keep tellin' myself 

Oh oh oh there's more to me than you
Oh oh don't underestimate what I can do 
'Cause I'm alright 
It's ok
I know I'll make it through
'Cause there's more to me than you

I'm not sayin' I'm batered or bruised
But I might as well be the words that you used 
I believe in myself
That makes me stronger
Things change and so have I
I'm gonna make hay while the sun still shines
You can clip my wings but I'm still gonna fly
I'm on my own and on my way 
And I keep tellin' myself

Oh oh oh there's more to me than you
Oh oh don't underestimate what I can do 
'Cause I'm alright 
It's ok
I know I'll make it through
'Cause there's more to me than you

There was always somthin' that meant more to you than me
And I'm just sorry it's taken this for you to see

Oh oh oh there's more to me than you
Oh oh don't underestimate what I can do 
'Cause I'm alright 
It's ok
I know I'll make it through
'Cause there's more to me than you

Oh oh oh there's more to me than you 
Oh oh oh there's more to me than you
