My Life Would Suck Without You!

I know this song came out a while ago, but I just heard it the other day, and it kindof grates at my nerves. I like Kelly Clarkson, I do. I think she's very talented, and some of her songs are great. But seriously, My Life Would Suck Without You? Does that translate to "I'm codependent, I need to be with someone, I can't handle being by myself?"
I used to be like that. If I broke up with the boyfriend at the time, I thought my life was over. Depression would hit me like a ton of bricks, I wouldn't eat unless someone made me, I slept all the time, got behind in school or work, and life generally sucked. But that's a choice. My most recent relationship ended because of a screw-up on my part, and yeah, I cried my eyes out. If I could take back my mistakes I would do it in a heartbeat. If my lover told me that he would give me another chance I would cry tears of joy. But if he doesn't- and I don't think he will -I'll be okay. I still take time once in a while to cry for what might have been. I was gonna marry him. Since I have the day off (and I know he doesn't) I'll go to a place we shared and write, or perhaps draw. I'll sing a melancholy tune, maybe shed a few tears... And then I'll come back and get on with my life.
My life was enriched by him, but it doesn't suck without him.
