On My Own
Amber Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It doesnโ€™t get better

You just forget how it hurts

Until you realise how much youโ€™ve lost

And what itโ€™s worth

Iโ€™m just trying to get by in my own way

Keep my hands to myself

Resist the urge to

When she walks by

I lose myself sometimes

I feel nothing but everything at the same time


Iโ€™m counting your glances

Your words and advancements

And my face feels so numb

Tried to glue my features back on


Iโ€™m just trying to get by in my own way

Keep my hands to myself

Resist the urge to

When she walks by

I lose myself sometimes

I feel nothing but everything at the same time


Your head rests in other beds

I dream of you when your lying next to me

My soul sinks from your lack of empathy

And I think you like to watch

This room burning holes in my heart


Iโ€™m just trying to get by in my own way

Keep my hands to myself

Resist the urge to

When she walks by

I lose myself sometimes





I feel nothing but everything at the same time

There are many reasons as to why I will always stan Amber the way I do.

1. She's not afraid to be herself

2. She's inspired me to feel strong as a tomboy

3. Her voice is breathtaking

4. Her songs are so inspiring

There are many more, but these 4 are the most important to me at the moment. I will always have a deep love for Amber and anything she does.

Itโ€™s okay itโ€™s okay
Iโ€™ll lie and say Itโ€™s okay
So far Iโ€™ve gone to get to you
Itโ€™s okay itโ€™s okay
You see through my hardened face
Trying to see the light
through the rain
Hoping that nothings gone
But still I hold on
this mask is running thin
I know Iโ€™m losing my senses
I pray each and every day
For me to stay awake
โ€˜Cause Iโ€™m on my own
where are you
Itโ€™s too late Itโ€™s too late
Wonโ€™t believe I came too late
The bells rung me out
Iโ€™ve been knocked down
Iโ€™m done for good
Iโ€™m done for good
Though thereโ€™s no way
But still I hold on
this mask is running thin
I know Iโ€™m losing my senses
I pray each and every day
For me to stay awake
โ€˜Cause Iโ€™m on my own
But still I hold on
my breath now is running thin
I donโ€™t care that Iโ€™m losing
I want you here to stay
For you complete me
But Iโ€™m here alone where are you
Where are you
No more things left to say
I just wanted you to stay
Hold on this mask is running thin
I know Iโ€™m losing my senses
Pray each and every day
For me to stay awake
Cause Iโ€™m on my own
where are you
