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

On my own

On my own

On my own

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

On my own

Once again now

One more time

By myself

No one said it was easy

But it once was so easy

Well I believed in love

Now here I stand

I wonder why

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

So many times

I know I should 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

On my own

On my own

On my own

Chorus Repeat

This wasn't how it was supposed to end

I wish that we could do it all again

I never dreamed I'd spend one night alone

On my own, I've got to find where I belong again

I've got to learn how to be strong again

I never dreamed I'd spend one night alone

By myself by myself

I've got to find out what was mine again

My heart is saying that it's my time again

And I have faith that I will shine again

I have faith in me

On my own

On my own

On my own
