On Our Own (10/26/2005)

I’m not as bad as you all may think
I’m not as wrong as I always seem
This is my only chance to hide
Behind the words of another fight
But, surely, even then
You can see how I treat my friends
Giving all that I have in me
Judgement comes as a tragedy

And yet I’ll be…
And yet I’ll be…
On my own

Why do you leave?
Why did you leave?
On my own

Simple words that I choose to speak
To portray my own self defeat
I try to tell you just how I feel
Maybe I’m just no big deal
Because every word I send
A vain attempt at a chance to mend
Pouring out what is left in me
Only words left defending me

And yet I’ll be…
And yet I’ll be…
On my own

Why do you leave?
Why did you leave?
On my own

I try to stand on my feet and prove I’m not weak
Every night
But it’s my own tragedy with which I must be
Every time

And yet I’ll be…
And yet I’ll be…
On my own

We’ll always be…
We’ll always be…
On our own

Notes: It’s just a very subdued ballad. Alyssa wanted me to write a song for her to sing, though I refused to do it. I guess, in some spiteful way, I wrote a song just for me, as personal as I can make it. It may not be good, but it’s heart felt.
