On My Own
Spoo and Nick Lyrics

Somehow my love
Expressing the depth of the singer's love

Somehow my love
Repeating the declaration of love

Keep me an open heart in hell
Asking for the strength to remain open-hearted during difficult times

Give me courage to feel it all
Asking for bravery to face difficult emotions

The beauty of the fall
Finding positivity even in difficult situations

When I want to run away
Admitting a desire to escape from difficulties

When I wish run away
Repeating the feeling of wanting to escape

Oh Lord, help me stay
Asking for divine intervention to resist the urge to run away

I look around, I look away
Feeling overwhelmed and avoiding confronting the situation

Hey hey
Verbal filler, adding lightness to the tone

It's too much to take
Admitting that the situation is difficult to bear

I fool my heart each day
Trying to convince oneself that the heart is strong and unaffected

I fool my heart each time I say
Repeating the previous line

That it don't know how to break
Claiming that the heart is unbreakable

And that I'm better off this way
Believing that avoiding emotions is a better option

Come on, Lord, help me stay
Asking for help to resist avoiding difficult emotions

Can we bear the unbearable?
Questioning whether we can handle extremely difficult situations

How to bear the unbearable?
Repeating the previous question and considering how to face difficulties

Finding the color of my rage
Acknowledging feelings of anger and processing them

Giving that rage a place
Allowing oneself to feel anger and expressing it in a healthy way

Whoa, the beast has a face
Referring to the feeling of anger as a beast, and acknowledging it as a real part of oneself

With a grimace and such grace
Describing the anger as both ugly and beautiful

With an open heart in hell
Reminding oneself to remain vulnerable despite difficulties

Well well
Verbal filler, adding emphasis

Courage to feel it all
Emphasizing the need for bravery in facing difficult emotions

Hold us, keep us still
Asking for divine intervention to help remain calm during difficulties

When we want to run away
Admitting a shared desire to escape from difficulties

Come on, Lord, help me stay
Repeating the previous request for divine help

And I do it for my own
Acknowledging that the effort to face difficulties is for oneself

My little boy, my little girl
Referring to the singer's children and considering how to set a good example for them

And we do it for our home
Considering how the singer's actions affect their family and household

If we do it for the world
Imagining how personal growth can have a positive impact on others

So let it out and let it in
Encouraging the expression of difficult emotions

Get to know that beast within
Acknowledging the reality of one's difficult emotions

Give him love and bring him in
Learning to accept and love oneself even with difficult emotions

No, not an enemy, but a friend
Recognizing that one's difficult emotions are not a threat, but an important part of oneself

And in the fury of the fire
Referring to difficult emotions like anger as a fiery force

In that timeless fire
Recognizing that difficult emotions are a part of the human experience

I find my ancient friend
Acknowledging that difficult emotions are a part of the singer's personal history

Lord, come to help me once again, yeah
Asking for divine help to continue facing difficulties

Whoa whoa oh, yeah, woo hoo, yeah
Verbal filler, adding enthusiasm and energy to the song's ending
