Lyrics - On My Own

On My Own
Alanis
	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!
        Know that I have me
        Now I can make it all alone out here on my own
