On My Own

[Verse 1]

Why do I feel it's all up to me to see that

Everything's right and it's how it should be

Why don't they just leave me alone

I've got to prove I can

Little girl with stars in her eyes

They've got her all figured out and there's nowhere to hide

Why can't they all see who I am?

When will they understand?

[Chorus]

It may take some time

They don't know how it feels

Because they can't read my mind

They always say I'm too young and

They feel they should help me

But I can make it all alone out here on my own

[Verse 2]

Every day I feel so in demand

And all I wish I could find is a place I can land

One day I'll feel comfort inside

'Cause I'll know who I am

I can hold the line if I know in the end

That I won't be left behind

I don't regret what I've done

I don't think you can blame me

Now I'm standing all alone out here on my own

I'm not thinkin' 'bout leaving home

But I need to be on my own

Doesn't mean I have a heart of stone

I won't even ask them why

I can't ever let them see me cry

Here I'm standing all alone out here on my own

Out here on my own

[Verse 3]

Feeling lost in a world full of lies

I can't help thinking that love is just passing me by

Hold on to what I believe

And keep an open hand

[Bridge]

Can I have it all

If there's no one to turn to when I stumble and fall

Is there a secret I need

'Cause no one has told me

All alone

[Chorus]

It may take some time

'Cause I know how it feels to have a lot on your mind

I'll never be left alone 'cause I know I have me

Now I can make it on own

Out here on my own
