Yesterday the odds were stacked 
 in favor of my expectations
 flyin' above the rest, 
 never fallin' from the nest
 tuesday came and went 
 and now i'm in a little situation
 maybe it's for the best
 i can live alone, i guess
 
 chorus:
 maybe i can stand alone
 maybe i'm strong as stone
 even though the bird has flown
 maybe he'll fly on home
 
 forgive me if i'm keeping you apart 
 from better conversation
 i'm hung up on all my doubt
 trying to sort the whole thing out
 tell me that i'm smart enough 
 to deal with all the information
 spinning inside my head
 every word he ever said
 
 (chorus x2)
