Shakey Graves - On My Own Lyrics

Shakey Graves Lyrics

"On My Own"

I can make the same mistake
This heart is only real estate
It's mine to break, I'll do it on my own
So turn the sheet and cut the light
Don't worry 'bout the afterlife
I think it's time I did it on my own

What would you do?
Where would you be now
If it was just me and you?
Now it's just me and me now
Now it's just me and me now
Now it's just me and me

Set the hook, please take the bait
Forever's not too long to wait
To hear you say, "I'm better on my own"
Forgetting is the hardest part
Another shadow in the dark
Who broke your heart? I did it on my own

Tell me, what would you do?
Where would you be now
If it was just me and you?
Now it's just me and me now
Tell me, what would you do?
Where would you be now
If it was just me and you?
Now it's just me and me now
Now it's just me and me now
Now it's just me and me

What would you do?
Where would you be now
If it was just me and you?
Now it's just me and me now
Yeah, what would you do?
Where would you be now
If it was just me and you?
Now it's just me and me now
Now it's just me and me now
Now it's just me and me
