Mmm...mmm...mmm...
Huh

So many times said it was forever
Said our love would always be true
Something in my heart always knew
I’d be lying here beside you

On my own
On my own
On my own, mmm...

So many promises never should be spoken
Now I know what lovin’ you cost
Now we’re up to talkin’ divorce
And we weren’t even married

On my own
Once again now
One more time
By myself

No one said it was easy, no, no (Ooh) (But it once was so easy)
Well, I believe (I believe) in love (In love)
Now here I stand (Ooh, I)
I wonder why, ooh

I’m on my own
Why did it end this way
{On my own}
This wasn’t how it was supposed to be
{On my own}
I wish that we could do it all again

So many times I know I could have told you
Losin’ you it cut like a knife, hey
You walked out and there went my life
I don’t wanna live without you

(On my own)
This wasn’t how it was supposed to be
(On my own)
I wish that we could do it all again
(On my own)
I never dreamed I’d spend one night alone
(By myself)
Oh...oh...oh...

{On my own}
I’ve got to find where I belong again
{On my own}
I’ve got to learn how to be strong again
{On my own}
I never dreamed I’d spend one night alone
{By myself} By myself, by myself

{On my own}
I’ve got to find out what was mine again
{On my own}
(My heart is saying that it’s my time again)

{On my own}
And I have faith that I will shine again
{By myself}

Oh...oh...oh...
I have faith in me
