Alanis Morissette - On My Own Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Why do I feel it's all up to me to see that
Everything's right and it's how it should be
Why don't they just leave me alone
I've got to prove I can

Little girl with stars in her eyes
They've got her all figured out and there's nowhere to hide
Why can't they all see who I am?
When will they understand?

[Chorus]
It may take some time
They don't know how it feels
Because they can't read my mind
They always say I'm too young and
They feel they should help me
But I can make it all alone out here on my own

[Verse 2]
Every day I feel so in demand
And all I wish I could find is a place I can land
One day I'll feel comfort inside
'Cause I'll know who I am

I can hold the line if I know in the end
That I won't be left behind
I don't regret what I've done
I don't think you can blame me
Now I'm standing all alone out here on my own

I'm not thinkin' 'bout leaving home
But I need to be on my own
Doesn't mean I have a heart of stone
I won't even ask them why
I can't ever let them see me cry
Here I'm standing all alone out here on my own
Out here on my own

[Verse 3]
Feeling lost in a world full of lies
I can't help thinking that love is just passing me by
Hold on to what I believe
And keep an open hand

[Bridge]
Can I have it all
If there's no one to turn to when I stumble and fall
Is there a secret I need
'Cause no one has told me
All alone

[Chorus]
It may take some time
'Cause I know how it feels to have a lot on your mind
I'll never be left alone 'cause I know I have me
Now I can make it on own
Out here on my own
