On My Own
Dan-EE Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

On my own
I get to be on my own finally
I get to see what its like to breathe
No more of that weight is on top of me
I can breathe, yea
On my own
I get to be on my own finally
I get to see what its like to breathe
No more of that weight is on top of me
I can breathe, yea



Need a life jacket I'm swimming deep
In a space; On my own I can see
Need to write all my wrongs in this song
Cause I can't keep causing all this harm
Its too much for me baby
I'm hiding behind the scenes
I'm stuck in the seams baby
I'm coming to grips but I can't seem to handle
Know the man before you dismantle
If a puzzle's a work a art then I might be mona lis...
We just might be, Capeesh
We just might never be
It just might be cause we never see each other
Hung up on one another
When we hang up on one another
I just need you to discover yourself, ohh
Have some fun, we still young, what the hell?
There's still time, find the love in yourself
All the time, better love yourself
Need some space so I can work on myself
On my own
I get to be on my own finally
I get to see what its like to breathe
No more of that weight is on top of me
I can breathe, yea
On my own
I get to be on my own finally
I get to see what its like to breathe
No more of that weight is on top of me
I can breathe, yea
Just like that
I gotta go side track
I got a new gold piece
Might make me platinum, might make me go numb, materials are so dumb
I gotta bite back, I gotta bike back
No gas just the pedals, I'm a head of my own
Belittle the throne, my head is to big to fit in that crown
So I'm making my own, I'm Setting the tone,
Im alah in islam, You a la like mode, Im zen in my zone
You just my side track, I got it right back
Just like that, anywhere it go comes right back
Boomerang, like right back
From the ground like flintstones
It translates rosetta Stone
New piece like you see the stone
This what happens when you on your own
So I'm on my own
On my own
I get to be on my own finally
I get to see what its like to breathe
No more of that weight is on top of me
I can breathe, yea
On my own
I get to be on my own finally
I get to see what its like to breathe
No more of that weight is on top of me
I can breathe, yea
