On My Own

On my own pretending he's beside me

All alone I walk with him till morning

Without him I feel his arms around me

And when I lose my way I close my eyes

And he has found me

In the rain, the pavement shines like silver

All the lights are mist in the river

In the dark days the trees are full of star light

And all I see is him and me forever and forever

And I know it's only in my mind

That I'm talking to myself

And not to him

And although I know that he's blind

Still I say, there's a way for us

I love him, but when the night is over

He's gone, the river's just a river

Without him the world around me changes

The trees are bearing everywhere

The streets are full of strangers

I love him, but everyday I'm running

All my life I've only been pretending

Without me his world would go on turning

A world that's full of happiness that I have never loved

I love him, I love him

I love him, but only on my own
