Verse 1

I fake a smile and say I'm fine

I know I should have seen the signs

but I loved you I was blind

pretendin' we were only killin' time

a white lie

never thought we'd say goodbye

I thought love of our kind

could turn water into wine but I'm

Chorus

on my own

tryin' to get a hold of things

what a mess I'm in

I've done wrong

that is why my baby's gone

I got myself to blame

here I am

lonely and broken again

I keep holdin' on

another lover's gone

Verse 2

I'm gettin' tired, another try

another failure to reach the sky

but I'll always keep on lookin' for

somebody to be standin' by my side

for Miss Right

for what makes humanity divine

but I can't seem to find

someone to love for life so I'm...

Chorus

on my own

tryin' to get a hold of things

what a mess I'm in

I've done wrong

that is why my baby's gone

I got myself to blame

here I am

lonely and broken again

I keep holdin' on

another lover's gone

Bridge

love is not an easy game

when you're gamblin' with your heart at stake

there's nothing to gain if you're playin' safe

barely time to heal before you brake

I hope and pray

I got what it takes to make it all the way

Chorus

on my own

tryin' to get a hold of things

what a mess I'm in

I've done wrong

that is why my baby's gone

I got myself to blame

here I am

lonely and broken again

I keep holdin' on

another lover's gone
