On My Own

I cry myself to sleep, I beg, I plead,

But your heart won’t bend, no care for me.

The dark beneath my eyes shows the nights I’ve spent,

My friends all notice, their worries won’t relent.

Your love has drained me—why should I still fight?

Now on my own, I’ve learned to be free,

No ties to you, no more misery.

As time fades away, goodbyes still cling,

But chasing your shadow won’t change a thing.

Inside these walls, I’m finding my way,

Without your love, I’m lighter each day.

The memories fade, but they’ve taught me well,

This broken heart holds a story to tell.

Why should I linger in sadness for you?

Now on my own, I’ve learned to be free,

No ties to you, no more misery.

As time fades away, goodbyes still cling,

But chasing your shadow won’t change a thing.

I’ll sleep again, no tears in my eyes,

No calls at midnight, no more sleepless cries.

Go on your way, I’ll be fine without you,

Living my life with a joy that feels true.

Now on my own, I’ve finally found peace,

No longer bound, my heartbreak’s released.

The storms have passed, and I’ll dance in the rain,

No need for love that only brings pain.

I’ve let go now, I’m no longer your fool,

I’ll live my life, and I’ll live it well too.
