On My Own Lyrics by Alex Greenwald

Yo

2014

[Verse 1]
I been living in a place where I can't
Figure out a way that I can get by
So many people here I see, but
Nobody that I can recognize
It's getting cold outside
That isn't something I'm used to, ohh-oh
Ain't got a stitch to wear
And no more money to burn through
[Chorus]
And I don't see the girl I moved here to see
Yeah, she can't find the time to see me
So, I got this apartment I'm tryin' to call home
Thinking I can't make it on my own
[Verse 2]
I got a couple of friends here, but now
When I really need 'em, they disappear
Listen to me
When I tell you that the nights get so broke
No amount of nothing fixes it here
I lay awake at night
That's something I'm gettin' used to, ohh-oh
I can't hold down a job
And there's no more money to turn to
[Chorus]
Yeah, I got here thinkin' I was going to live out a dream
Now I'm afraid I'm dyin' in my sleep
If she could help with some money for a ticket back home
She wouldn't have to see me on my own
[Bridge]
No, I can't fake it
Not on my own
No, I can't take it
Not on my own
[Verse 3]
It's getting cold outside
And my love ain't beating the frostbite
Yeah, 'cause every face in the street's staring back at me
With the winter of her eyes
[Chorus]
And I don't see the girl I moved here to see
Yeah, she can't find the time to see me
So, I got that ticket and I'm going home
'Cause I can't make it all alone
No, I can't make it on my own
