Til I Can Make It on My Own

I'll need time
To get you off my mind
I may sometimes bother you
Try to be in touch with you
Even ask too much of you
From time to time

Now and then
Lord, you know I'm gonna need a friend
'Til I get used to losing you
Let me keep on using you
'Til I can make it on my own

I'll get by
No matter how I try
There'll be times you know I'll call
Chances are, my tears will fall
And I'll have no pride at all
From time to time

But they say
Oh there'll be a brighter day
But 'til then I'll lean on you
You know that's all I mean to do
'Til I can make it on my own

Surely someday I'll look up and see the morning sun
Without another lonely night behind me
Then I'll know I'm over you and all my crying's done
No more hurting memories can find me

But 'til then
Lord, you know I'm gonna need a friend
'Til I get used to losing you
Let me keep on using you
'Til I can make it on my own
'Til I can make it on my own
