So many times I said it was forever

Said our love would always be true

Somethin' in my heart always knew

I'd be lying there beside him



On my own, On my own, On my own



So many promises never should be spoken

Now you know what loving him costs

Now you're even talkin' divorce

And you weren't even married



On my own

Once again I'm

One more time by myself



No one said it would be easy

But it once was so easy

Well I believe in love now here I stand

You wonder why



I'm on my own

Why did it end this way

On my own

This wasn't how it was supposed to be

On my own

I wish that we could do it all again



So many times I know I could have told you

That losing him would cut like a knife

He walked out and there went your life

I don't want to live without him



On my own

This wasn't how it was supposed to end

On my own

I wish that we could do it all again

On my own

I never dreamed I'd spend one night alone by myself

On my own

You've got to find out where you belong again

On my own

You've got to learn how to be strong again

On my own

I never dreamed I'd spend one night alone by myself



You've got to find out where you belong again

Your hear is saying that it's time again

And I know you're gonna shine again
