are you right or wrong when you wake up to think the better part is gone?
out of your day, out of your ordinary life?
hours pass you by wondering how it ever came to this and why
you're on your own this time...
she was everything
until her name became synonymous with pain.
lost in your thoughts, you're not safe in your own mind.
and all that remains
of the days gone by still plays behind your eyes
now that there's no one on your side...
with your beautiful eyes, and your dozens of brilliant designs...
you're on your own this time. alone.
to the person who asks you what's wrong and says, "you don't sound like yourself."
you smile and nod, and you say that you're fine
(but you're drowning inside like you're trapped beneath the ice and can't get out)
now that you do it to yourself.
and the truth's gonna hurt
more than lies that you've told or you've heard, realize:
you're on your own this time... oh...
(no, where, no one there's nobody there, nobody there...)
on your own... yeah...
yes, the world outside can be a cold and lonely place
and suck you dry
it can hijack your mind
even if you survive
then what's it all for!? but to push and pull the shadows from your head
now that you're hanging by a thread...
you can take back your life
or spend it just waiting to die, but either way...
you're on your own this time
you're on your own this time
and there's no one
there's no one
there's no one there... there is
