Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Out on your own, cold and alone again
Can this be what you really wanted, baby?
Now that you're gone, feel like myself again
Grieving the things I can't repair and willing
I don't wanna hold you back now
I can't change who I am, not this time
I won't lie to keep you near me
And in this short life there's no time to waste on giving up
My love wasn't enough
And you can blame it on me and set your guilt free
And I don't wanna hold you back now, love
Ooh ooh ooh

Out on your own, cold and alone again
You're by yourself, feeling empty and isolated
Can this be what you really wanted, baby?
You're questioning if this is the path you intended to follow
Blame it on me, set your guilt free
Blame me for everything and let go of your wrongdoing
Nothing can hold you back now
There's nothing stopping you from moving forward
Now that you're gone, feel like myself again
Now that you're not around, I'm starting to feel like my true self once more
Grieving the things I can't repair and willing
I'm mourning the things I can't fix and willing to let go
To let you blame it on me and set your guilt free
I'm willing to take the blame and help you move on
I don't want to hold you back now, love
I don't want to keep you from moving on and finding happiness
I can't change who I am, not this time
I can't be someone else just to keep you around
I won't lie to keep you near me
I won't deceive you to make you stay with me
And in this short life there's no time to waste on giving up
Life is too short to give up on love and happiness
My love wasn't enough
Despite my love, the relationship didn't work out
And you can blame it on me, just set your guilt free, honey
You can put the blame on me and move on without any guilt
I don't want to hold you back now, love
I want you to be free to pursue your own path and find true happiness
