"On My Own" lyrics

"On My Own"

Come to, the day is new
Hit the floor, crack the door
And what do I see?
Strange kid standing there
Who is that in the mirror
Could it be me?

Someone opens the bedroom door
Somebody wanders the hall
Someone's crossing my kitchen floor
Wasn't there somebody I loved
Who lived here before?

Oh, what am I missing here
Oh, something has disappeared
'Cause I'm all alone
Like a leaf that's blown
Into the great unknown
On my own

Stumbling down the stairs
Run my hands through my hair
What did I say that night?
Old friend weren't you with me then
Promising to hold me tight

Outside where the day is bright
But nothing is real
I wander the city streets
Trying to remind myself
How it felt to feel

Oh, what am I missing here
Oh, something has disappeared
'Cause I'm all alone
Like a pebble thrown
Into the great unknown
On my own

Maybe I'll change my style
Try to be nice for a while
Paint on a sincere smile
Get in touch with my inner child

Oh, something is missing here
Oh, something has disappeared
'Cause I'm all alone
Like a bird that's flown
Into the great unknown
On my own
