On My Own - Madeleine Peyroux

Come to, the day is new

Hit the floor, crack the door

And what do I see?

Strange kid standing there

Who is that in the mirror

Could it be me?

Someone opens the bedroom door

Somebody wanders the hall

Someone’s crossing my kitchen floor

Wasn’t there somebody I loved

Who lived here before?

Oh, what am I missing here

Oh, something has disappeared

'Cause I’m all alone

Like a leaf that’s blown

Into the great unknown

On my own

Stumbling down the stairs

Run my hands through my hair

What did I say that night?

Old friend weren’t you with me then

Promising to hold me tight

Outside where the day is bright

But nothing is real

I wander the city streets

Trying to remind myself

How it felt to feel

Oh, what am I missing here

Oh, something has disappeared

'Cause I’m all alone

Like a pebble thrown

Into the great unknown

On my own

Maybe I’ll change my style

Try to be nice for a while

Paint on a sincere smile

Get in touch with my inner child

Oh, something is missing here

Oh, something has disappeared

'Cause I’m all alone

Like a bird that’s flown

Into the great unknown

On my own
