Lyrics

[Verse 1]
So many times
Said it was forever
Said our love would always be true
Something in my heart always knew
I'd be lying here beside you
[Chorus]
On my own
On my own
On my own
[Verse 2]
So many promises
Never should be spoken
Now, I know what loving you cost
Now, we're up to talking divorce
And we weren't even married
[Chorus]
On my own
Once again, now
One more time
By myself
[Verse 3]
No one said it was easy, no
But it once was so easy
Well, I believed in love
I believed in love
Now, here I stand
[Chorus]
I wonder why, ooh, I'm on my own
Why did it end this way? (On my own)
This wasn't how it was supposed to be (On my own)
I wish that we could do it all again
[Verse 4]
So many times
I know I could have told you
Losing you, it cut like a knife
You walked out, and there went my life
I don't want to live without you
[Chorus]
On my own
This wasn't how it was supposed to end
On my own
I wish that we could do it all again
On my own
I never dreamed I'd spend one night alone
By myself
Oh, on my own
[Outro]
I've got to find out where I belong again (On my own)
I've got to learn to be strong again (On my own)
I never dreamed I'd spend one night alone (By myself)
By myself, by myself
[Outro]
I've got to find out what was mine again (On my own)
My heart is saying that it's time again (On my own)
And I have faith that I will shine again (By myself)
[Outro]
Oh, I (On my own)
Have faith (On my own)
In me, oh (On my own)
I know I'll make it (By myself)
By myself, by myself
