Lyrics
On My Own
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
They say they don't like the colour of my hair
My childish dreams, they won't get me anywhere
They say they don't like the style of my clothes
That I don't stand a single chance
What do they know?
All of those sleepless nights
Thinking I won't survive
Almost gave up, I was breaking
But in my darkest hour
I found my inner power
And life is mine for the taking
So I stand right here and nobody would know
It's been a long, long troublesome road
I did it on my own
And I've got this smile upon my face even though
It's been a long, long troublesome road
I did it on my own
I did it on my own
They say that I shouldn't play my music loud
I'm going nowhere 'cause I don't run with their crowd
They say the world don't need people like me
Such hateful words, didn't know they cut so deep
All of those sleepless nights thinking I won't survive
Almost gave up, I was breaking
But in my darkest hour I found my inner power
And life is mine for the taking
So I stand right here and nobody would know
It's been a long, long troublesome road
I did it on my own
And I've got this smile upon my face even though
It's been a long, long troublesome road
I did it on my own
Nobody's gonna tell me how to live my life
Nobody's gonna tell me I'm wrong, they right
Nobody's gonna tell me what I can and can't do
I'm living proof
So I stand right here and nobody would know
It's been a long, long troublesome road
Gonna throw my party
I don't care if you show
It's been a long, long troublesome road
I did it on my own
So I stand right here and nobody would know
It's been a long, long troublesome road
I did it on my own
And I've got this smile upon my face even though
It's been a long, long troublesome road
(I did it on my own)
Did it, did it
Did it on my own
Did it, did it
I did it on my own
Did it, did it
Did it on my own
Did it, did it
I did it on my own
