Single: On My Own

They all told me
To open my eyes,
Not to believe in your lies
Oh,
But I didn't listen
Didn't wanna believe
That you would do such a thing
Didn't wanna believe
That you would ever lie to me

I'd rather be single than have someone else
I'd be thinking of you,
I'd be wishing it was you holding me,
I'd be thinking of all the memories,
So precious to me

Well I'm okay on my own
I don't mind being alone
I accepted long ago
That it would turn out this way
You get used to the empty feeling of not being loved by the one you love
You get used to the cold of not being held
Well it doesn't matter
If I'm alone
It doesn't matter
If I'm on my own
I'm stuck on my own

It's not like I don't smile,
It's not like I don't laugh
I'll never be
100% happy
Without your arms around me
But I'm still alive,
I'm still breathing,
My heart is still beating
Even though it's bleeding

I swore I'd never cry again
And then
You go and bring up the past,
Speaking of things that I thought would last,
Reminding me of your feelings that were never there

Well I'm okay on my own
I don't mind being alone
I accepted long ago
That it would turn out this way
You get used to the empty feeling of not being loved by the one you love
You get used to the cold from not being held
Well it doesn't matter
If I'm alone
It doesn't matter
If I'm on my own
I'm stuck on my own

I'm proud to be a virgin,
And I'm proud to say
That it's gonna stay that way
Keep telling myself
I'm not missing out on anything with you
Maybe if I think it over and over,
I'll believe that it's true

I don't mind waking up every morning
Without you by my side
Okay,
I mind,
But it's just something that I've had to accept,
Had to adjust to,
Had to get used to

Well I'm okay on my own
I don't mind being alone
I accepted long ago
That it would turn out this way
You get used to the empty feeling of not being loved by the one you love
You get used to the cold from not being held
Well it doesn't matter
If I'm alone
It doesn't matter
If I'm on my own
I'm stuck on my own

Falling asleep again
And I refuse to cry on my pillow
It doesn't count as crying
If the tears don't fall

All the girls you like
Are walking down the street
With scars on their arms
And multi-colored hair
Skinny jeans and scene cuts,
Eyeliner and belt studs
Lost it at eleven
Don't know why you're interested in girls like them

Well I'm okay on my own
I don't mind being alone
I accepted long ago
That it would turn out this way
You get used to the empty feeling of not being loved by the one you love
You get used to the cold from not being held
Well it doesn't matter
If I'm alone
It doesn't matter
If I'm on my own
I'm stuck on my own

You could have me,
You could have everything
If you'd just give me a chance
Give me a chance to give you love
Give a chance to show you what's real
