1. So many times said it was forever,

F Dm

said our love would always be true,

something in my heart always knew,

C

I'd be lying here beside you.

Dm C Dm - C

On my own, on my own, on my own.

C - Em C - Em

2. So many promises never should be spoken,

F Dm

now I know what loving you cost,

F Dm

now we're up to talking divorce,

C

and we weren't even married.

Dm C Dm C

On my own, once again now, one more time by myself.

F - C

No one said it was easy, no.

F F Dm

But it once was so easy, well, I believed in love.

Em Am

Now here I stand, I wonder why ?

Dm

I'm on my own, why did it end this way ?

C

On my own, this wasn't how it was supposed to be.

Dm

On my own, I wish that we could do it all again.

3. So many times I know I should have told you,

F Dm

losing you, it cut like a knife, hey,

F Dm

you walked out and there went my life

C

I don't want to live without you.

Dm

On my own, this wasn't how it was supposed to end,

C

on my own, I wish that we could do it all again,

Dm C

on my own, I never dreamed I'd spend one night alone, on my own.

Dm

On my own, I've got to find where I belong again,

C

on my own, I've got to learn how to be strong again,

Dm C

on my own, I never dreamed I'd spend one night alone, by myself.

Dm

On my own, I've got to find out what was mine again.

C

On my own, my heart is saying that it's my time again.

Dm

On my own, and I have faith that I will shine again ....
