On My Own Lyrics - Alanis - Alanis Morissette

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 standin' all alone out here on my own 

I'm not thinking 'bout leavin' 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 thinkin' that love is just 

Passin' 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 because 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 feel all alone 'cause I 

Know that I have me 

Now I can make it all alone out here on my own
