On My Own

[Verse 1] Why do I feel it's all up to me to see that Everything's right and it's how it should be Why don't they just leave me alone I've got to prove I can Little girl with stars in her eyes They've got her all figured out and There's nowhere to hide Why can't they all see who I am? When will they understand? [Chorus] It may take some time They don't know how it feels Because they can't read my mind They always say I'm too young and They feel they should help me But I can make it all alone out here on my own [Verse 2] Every day I feel so in demand and all I wish I could find is a place I can land One day I'll feel comfort inside because I'll know who I am I can hold the line if I know in the end That I won't be left behind I don't regret what I've done I don't think you can blame me Now I'm standing all alone out here on my own I'm not thinking about leaving home But I need to be on my own Doesn't mean I have a heart of stone I won't even ask them why I can't ever let them see me cry Here I'm standing all alone out here on my own Out here on my own Feeling lost in a world full of lies I can't help thinking that love is just Passing me by Hold on to what I believe And keep an open hand [Bridge] Can I have it all if there's no one to turn to When I stumble and fall Is there a secret I need Because no one has told me All alone [Chorus]
