On My Own
Three Days Grace/Musicfire.in Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I walk alone, think of home
Memories of long ago
No one knows I lost my soul long ago

Lied too much
She said that she's had enough
Am I too much
She said that she's had enough

Standing on my own
Remembering the one I left at home
Forget about the life I used to know
Forget about the one I left at home

I need to run far away
Can't go back to that place
Like she told me
I'm just a big disgrace

Lied too much
She said that she's had enough
Am I too much
She said that she's had enough

Standing on my own
Remembering the one I left at home
Forget about the life I used to know
Forget about the one I left at home
So now I'm standing here alone
I'm learning how to live life on my own

Lied too much
I think that I've had enough
Am I too much
She said that she's had enough

I'm standing on my own
Remembering the one I left at home
Forget about the life I used to know
Forget about the one I left at home
So now I'm standing here alone
I'm learning how to live life on my own




Forget about the past I'll never know
Forget about the one I left at home

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Three Days Grace's "On My Own" express feelings of isolation and regret. The singer is alone and thinking about home, but also acknowledges that they lost their soul a long time ago. They have lied too much and someone in their life (presumably a romantic partner) has had enough and left them. The singer is now standing on their own, trying to forget about their past life and the person they left behind. They want to run far away and can't go back to that place.


The chorus repeats the phrase "Standing on my own" as the singer tries to cope with their new reality of living life on their own. They are learning how to do this, but also questioning if they are too much for others to handle. The final lines emphasize the need to forget about the past they will never know and the person they left at home.


Overall, the lyrics touch on themes of loneliness, regret, and starting over. It's a relatable sentiment for anyone who has experienced a major life change or loss.

Lyrics
There's gotta be another way out
I've been stuck in a cage with my doubt
I've tried forever getting out on my own
But every time I do this my way
I get caught in the lies of the enemy
I lay my troubles down
I'm ready for you now
Bring me out
Come and find me in the dark now
Every day by myself I'm breaking down
I don't wanna fight alone anymore
Bring me out
From the prison of my own pride
My God
I need a hope I can't deny
In the end I'm realizing I was never meant to fight on my own
Every little thing that I've known is every thing I need to let go
You're so much bigger than the world I've made
So I surrender my soul
I'm reaching out for your hope
I lay my weapons down
I'm ready for you now
Bring me out
Come and find me in the dark now
Every day by myself I'm breaking down
I don't wanna fight alone anymore
Bring me out
From the prison of my own pride
My God
I need a hope I can't deny
In the end I'm realizing I was never meant to fight on my own
I don't wanna be incomplete
I remember what you said to me
I don't have to fight alone
Bring me out
Come and find me in the dark now
Every day by myself I'm breaking down
I don't wanna fight alone anymore
Bring me out
From the prison of my own pride
My God
I need a hope I can't deny
In the end I'm realizing I was never meant to fight on my own

There's gotta be another way out
I've been stuck in a cage with my doubt
I've tried forever getting out on my own
But every time I do this my way
I get caught in the lies of the enemy
I lay my troubles down
I'm ready for you now

Bring me out
Come and find me in the dark now
Everyday by myself I'm breaking down
I don't wanna fight alone anymore
Bring me out
From the prison of my own pride
My God I need a hope I can't deny
In the end I'm realizing
I was never meant to fight on my own

Every little thing that I've known 
Is every thing I need to let go
You're so much bigger than the world I have made
So I surrender my soul
I'm reaching out for your hope
I lay my weapons down
I'm ready for you now

Bring me out
Come and find me in the dark now
Everyday by myself I'm breaking down
I don't wanna fight alone anymore
Bring me out
From the prison of my own pride
My God I need a hope I can't deny
In the end I'm realizing 
I was never meant to fight on my own

I don't wanna be incomplete
I remember what you said to me
I don't have to fight alone

Bring me out
Come and find me in the dark now
Everyday by myself I'm breaking down
I don't wanna fight alone anymore
Bring me out
From the prison of my own pride
My God I need a hope I can't deny
In the end I'm realizing
I was never meant to fight on my own
