On My Own
Alana Stone Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I never said that I was perfect, no
I only said that I would try, oh
I know that when you promised me forever
That it was all just a lie

And now, and now I fall to pieces
And shards of me are on the ground
And I, I try to put my past behind me
And hold onto this new life we've found

Now, I'm running away on my own
On my own
Oh, there's something I think you should know
Now, I'm feeling so lost and alone
I'm alone
Oh, we had it and lost it, it's all gone

When I dream is when you're with me
It's the only time that you appear, oh
I know that you didn't care about me
Because I noticed you were never here

And now I'm losing control
And I wait for another day
And I, I try to put my past behind me
And all I do is watch you fade away

Now, I'm running away on my own
On my own
Oh, there's something I think you should know
Now, I'm feeling so lost and alone
I'm alone
Oh, we had it and lost it, it's all gone

I can tell by the look in your eyes
That now it's time for me to say goodbye

Now, I'm running away on my own
On my own
Oh, there's something I think you should know
Now, I'm feeling so lost and alone
I'm alone
Oh, we had it and lost it, it's all gone

Now, I'm running away on my own
On my own
Oh, there's something I think you should know
Now, I'm feeling so lost and alone




I'm alone
Oh, we had it and lost it, it's all gone

Brad: Gives Britney a room key

@ambercrosland4635

Sad thing is Brad actually thought that Brittany didn't know that he was with winnie behind her back And thought Brittany would have her frist Time with him

@amylee8969

I'm glad Britney broke up with him, he only wanted sex from her. Imagine if he got her pregnant and he left her and began hooking up with other girls. He's a jerk.

@jaclynsanture6643

@laurynalana1876
