On My Own

Here are you and here am I
Looking in each other's eyes
Trying when there's no words left to say
Wondering how it came to this

When all we knew was happiness
But that was then
And then was yesterday
And so I'm on my own again

It seems the world we're living in
Always brings you back to what you've known
That you can't hold on to anything
The bird in hand just cannot sing

And so I guess I'll make it on my own

Well, I've tried, yes, I've tried
And Lord only knows the many tears I've cried for you
But I just can’t seem to see the world
The same way that you do

So I guess I'm back to being on my own

Living in a fantasy, seeing what you want to see
Trying to believe what isn't there
Wishing for what used to be and running from reality
Isn't going to change this sad affair

Well, I've tried, yes, I've tried
And Lord only knows the many tears I've cried for you
But I just can’t seem to see the world
The same way that you do

So I guess I'm back to being on my own
