Is it better to keep holding on or walk away?
The answer faded from me so very long ago
Woke up every morning counting hope of a better day
But it went away before I would ever know
Now I see the lights at the end of the road
And they point towards everything will be alright
I'll be feeling I'm in heaven in the afterglow
With neon hazes floating around in the middle of the night

[chorus:]
I don't need you to validate my cause
I can live by myself and still be okay
I've got to keep going, can't stay on pause
I can live by myself and still be okay
You can't tell me I'm the loser
You don't know what it means to be number one
Even if I never get you back
I know that I will never look back in the run

I want you by my side for eternity and and forever
But you don't know how to treat me when I cry
Promised me you be with me through all of this whatever
And I'm starting to think that was all petty lies
If you're going to be a faker, darling you better work harder on that
Don't be fooled by your own stupid insecurities
You're not getting anywhere if you can't wear a proper mask
But it's not you who I will ever choose to believe

I don't need you to validate my cause
I can live by myself and still be okay
I've got to keep going, can't stay on pause
I can live by myself and still be okay
You can't tell me I'm the loser
You don't know what it means to be number one
Even if I never get you back
I know that I will never look back in the run

Never will I ask you to be there for me
Either way if you are or not you just won't
I'd talk it over with you more seriously
But right now you're probably out getting stoned

I don't need you to validate my cause
I can live by myself and still be okay
I've got to keep going, can't stay on pause
I can live by myself and still be okay
You can't tell me I'm the loser
You don't know what it means to be number one
Even if I never get you back
I know that I will never look back in the run

I can live by myself and still be okay
I can live by myself and still be okay
