Outside Yourself Lyrics by Edward Doyle

On My Own

2020

I was sitting, waiting, wishing
On a burning bridge where we were fishing
Little did I know, the only fish that I would catch
Was selfish

Life's too short to burn your bridges
Live outside yourself, grant others' wishes
Later on you'll come to find, you're singin
Washin dishes

(interlude)

I've got nothing that I bring, still I've got everything
I've ever dreamed of, even more I can't afford to make up
Any sad, sob stories

Everything is nothing if you cannot make the time
Just let that phone ring off the hook, pick up a book
Or write yourself a brand new story
