On My Own Lyrics

Stayed awake all night toss and turninï¿½
Now my blood shot eyes are burnin'
Workin' now why this ainï¿½t workin'
Fight after fight after fight
And now itï¿½s killin' me
You were too busy to believe in
All the run away dreams I was dreamin'
Time to pack up and go Iï¿½m leavin'
Fight after fight after fight

And now I gotta be
On My Own
And living in a world alone
Gets better every day
That I donï¿½t have to say Iï¿½m sorry Iï¿½m coming home
Iï¿½m gonna make it on my own
Iï¿½ll always take the harder road
Gets better every day
That I donï¿½t have to say Iï¿½m sorry Iï¿½m coming home

Howï¿½d you end up oh so jaded
Cynical and so sedated
Canï¿½t live in this world you created
Day after day after day

You will always be the lonely one
You will always try to swallow the Sun
Just remember you could never make it rain on anyone

On my own
And living in a world alone
Gets better every day
Cause I donï¿½t have to say
And now your killin' me

On My Own
And living in a world alone
Gets better every day
That I donï¿½t have to say Iï¿½m sorry Iï¿½m coming home
Iï¿½m gonna make it on my own
Iï¿½ll always take the harder road
Gets better every day
That I donï¿½t have to say Iï¿½m sorry Iï¿½m coming home
Iï¿½ll make it on my own
Iï¿½m sorry I wonï¿½t be coming home
Iï¿½ll make it on my own
Iï¿½m sorry I wonï¿½t be coming home
Iï¿½ll make it on my own
Iï¿½m sorry I wonï¿½t be coming home
Iï¿½ll make it on my own
Iï¿½m sorry I wonï¿½t be coming home

Perfect

Stayed awake all night toss and turninï¿½ 
Now my blood shot eyes are burnin' 
Workin' now why this ainï¿½t workin'
Fight after fight after fight 
And now itï¿½s killin' me 
You were too busy to believe in 
All the run away dreams I was dreamin'
Time to pack up and go Iï¿½m leavin' 
Fight after fight after fight

And now I gotta be 
On My Own 
And living in a world alone 
Gets better every day 
That I donï¿½t have to say Iï¿½m sorry Iï¿½m coming home 
Iï¿½m gonna make it on my own 
Iï¿½ll always take the harder road 
Gets better every day 
That I donï¿½t have to say Iï¿½m sorry Iï¿½m coming home

Howï¿½d you end up oh so jaded 
Cynical and so sedated 
Canï¿½t live in this world you created 
Day after day after day

And now I gotta be 
On My Own 
And living in a world alone 
Gets better every day 
That I donï¿½t have to say Iï¿½m sorry Iï¿½m coming home 
Iï¿½m gonna make it on my own 
Iï¿½ll always take the harder road 
Gets better every day 
That I donï¿½t have to say Iï¿½m sorry Iï¿½m coming home

You will always be the lonely one 
You will always try to swallow the Sun 
Just remember you could never make it rain on anyone

On my own 
And living in a world alone 
Gets better every day 
Cause I donï¿½t have to say 
And now your killin' me

On My Own 
And living in a world alone 
Gets better every day 
That I donï¿½t have to say Iï¿½m sorry Iï¿½m coming home 
Iï¿½m gonna make it on my own 
Iï¿½ll always take the harder road 
Gets better every day 
That I donï¿½t have to say Iï¿½m sorry Iï¿½m coming home 
Iï¿½ll make it on my own 
Iï¿½m sorry I wonï¿½t be coming home 
Iï¿½ll make it on my own 
Iï¿½m sorry I wonï¿½t be coming home 
Iï¿½ll make it on my own 
Iï¿½m sorry I wonï¿½t be coming home 
Iï¿½ll make it on my own 
Iï¿½m sorry I wonï¿½t be coming home

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I first heard this song at 4am after I was venting to a friend about how I was feeling upset over everything going on at the moment. I was going to flip the channel, but something made me give them a chance. The first verse caught my attention right away because I could relate so much. Especially "You were too busy to believe in All the run away dreams I was dreamin'" because there's so many things I want to do, but no one realizes it.

The point to my novel-like comment, this song is amazing, this band is great. I was instantly hooked.

I love this song. I love the band. I love Jacob Hoggard. He's a genious putting these words together to make such an awesome song! I'm not sure about the meaning to this song though. This song makes me feel like there's another way to live life and if someone else doesn't like it then they can just leave... I've heard so many other songs by them and I don't know, this one just pops out at me... I love it! There's nothing else for me to say I guess so... Later! Buh byezz! -xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo- 4 Hedley!

If I had to guess, I'd say this song is about wanting to leave the past behind and realizing you're better off on your own, alone.
