On My Own

(专辑： Alanis - 1991)

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?

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

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 thinking '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

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

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

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
