Lyrics

On Your Own Again

[Verse 1]

Wasn't it a good year?

Wasn't filled with talking

It still moves through my heart

From time to time

[Verse 2]

City after city

Granite gray as morning

Heroes died in subways left behind

Far behind like our love

[Outro]

You're on your own again

And you're your best again

That's what you tell yourself

I see it all the way as far as anyone can see

Except when it began

I was so happy

I didn't feel like me
