On My Own Lyrics - Samantha Barks - Samantha Barks

On my own 

Pretending he's beside me 

All alone 

I walk with him till morning 

Without him 

I feel his arms around me 

And when I lose my way I close my eyes 

And he has found me 

In the rain the pavement shines like silver 

All the lights are misty in the river 

In the darkness, the trees are full of starlight 

And all I see is him and me forever and forever 

And I know it's only in my mind 

That I'm talking to myself and not to him 

And although I know that he is blind 

Still I say, there's a way for us 

I love him 

But when the night is over 

He is gone 

The river's just a river 

Without him 

The world around me changes 

The trees are bare and everywhere 

The streets are full of strangers 

I love him 

But every day I'm learning 

All my life 

I've only been pretending 

Without me 

His world will go on turning 

A world that's full of happiness 

That I have never known 

I love him 

I love him 

I love him 

But only on my own
