On My Own
Patti Labelle and Michael Mcdon Lyrics

So many times
We have been through many situations in the past.

Said it was forever
We promised our love would last a lifetime.

Said our love would always be true
We promised to always love each other with sincerity.

Something in my heart always knew
I always had this inner feeling that things weren't right.

I'd be lying here beside you
I thought I would always be next to you.

On my own
Now I am alone.

On my own
I am still alone.

On my own
Being alone is my new reality.

So many promises never should be spoken
We made a lot of empty promises.

Now I know what loving you cost
I realize the price I had to pay for loving you.

Now we're up to talking divorce
We are thinking of getting a divorce.

And we weren't even married
We were never officially married.

Once again now
I find myself in this situation again.

One more time
I have to face this situation again.

By myself
Alone again.

No one said it was easy
Nobody ever told me it would be easy.

But it once was so easy
Our relationship used to be effortless.

Well I believed, I believed in love
I used to believe in love and its power.

Now here I stand
I find myself in this difficult position.

I wonder why
I am questioning the reasons for our separation.

Why did it end this way
I am perplexed as to how our love ended this way.

This wasn't how it was supposed to be
Our relationship was never meant to end like this.

I wish that we could do it all again
I wish we could start over again.

I know I could have told you
I could have communicated better with you.

Losing you it cut like a knife, hey
Losing you felt extremely painful and hurtful.

You walked out and there went my life
Your departure felt like my life was gone too.

I don't want to live without you
I don't want to spend the rest of my life without you.

This wasn't how it was supposed to end
Our love story was meant to have a happy ending.

I never dreamed I'd spend one night alone
I never thought I would be left alone.

By myself
On my own, with nobody else.

I've got to find where I belong again
I need to discover my place in this world again.

I've got to learn how to be strong again
I need to regain my strength and resilience.

I've got to find out what was mine again
I need to rediscover my identity and purpose.

My heart is saying that it's my time again
My heart tells me it's time to start anew.

And I have faith that I will shine again
I believe I will overcome this and emerge victorious.

I (on my own) have faith (on my own) in me
I trust in myself and my abilities to move forward alone.
