I Went Out

© 2008 Ami Worthen

I went out, out by myself
I took my hat off the shelf and fled
I didn’t even make my bed

I went out, out by myself
I went out, nobody was there
And I stood and stared
Didn’t see anyone at all
They hadn’t even taken the time to call

I went out, out by myself
I took my heart off the shelf, it bled
So I fixed it with my head

I went out, out by myself
I went out to find my friends had gone
So I wrote this song
Can’t touch the deepest me inside
I go out by myself with pride

I’m not afraid to be alone
Not gonna sit here by the dagburn phone
And if they ever say sorry
It’s too late, they’ve lost a part of me

I went out, out by myself
I went out and danced in the sunshine
Of my special life

I went out, out by myself
I went nobody was there
And I didn’t care
All the wonders of the world
For an independent girl
Yes I am
