On My Own
Jeffrey Piton Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's been a couple years
Now I have scars to remind me
It can take a while, to get the wounds to heal
You've been by my side, when I needed you most
I promise I will try
To climb slower this time
My dear, I don't think I can do this on my own
My dear, I don't think I can do this on my own
Learning to breathe again, focused on my destination
With you by my side
I'm slowly moving on
And as time goes by
Everyone around me moves
They're moving way too fast
I just wish I could keep up




My dear, I don't think I can do this on my own
My dear, I don't think I can do this on my own
