[Verse 1]
I packed my name in a small blue bag
Folded the letters you saved for me
Mother, your hands on the kitchen rail
Father, your eyes on the keys
I’m standing straight at the edge of now
Scared in a way that feels alive
The floor is shaking under my feet
But I’m still here, still mine
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me I’ll make it through
Tell me the road turns clean
I’ve got your voices in my chest
And a brand-new pulse in me
[Chorus]
I’m on my own
I’m on my own (on my own)
Say goodbye, say goodbye
I still hear your names at home
I’m on my own
I’m on my own (on my own)
Soft but strong, soft but strong
Watch me learn to move alone
[Verse 2]
I left a note by the old front door
No long speech, just my truth
If I go quiet, don’t read it wrong
I’m just becoming new
I want my steps to run smooth and sure
Less crashing, more grace in the dark
Less dragging chains through every doubt
More open sky in my heart
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me I’ll make it through
Tell me the road turns clean
I’ve got your voices in my chest
And a brand-new pulse in me
[Chorus]
I’m on my own
I’m on my own (on my own)
Say goodbye, say goodbye
I still hear your names at home
I’m on my own
I’m on my own (on my own)
Soft but strong, soft but strong
Watch me learn to move alone
[Bridge]
If I shake, let me shake
If I cry, let it pass
I’m not breaking apart
I’m just burning the old mask
One last look, one last wave
Then I step through the frame
I will miss every room
Still I choose this change
[Final Chorus]
I’m on my own
I’m on my own (on my own)
Say goodbye, say goodbye
I still hear your names at home
I’m on my own
I’m on my own (on my own)
Soft but strong, soft but strong
Watch me learn to move alone
I’m on my own
I’m on my own (on my own)
One-way door, one-way door
And I’m walking through it whole
