On My Own
I thought that what I wanted
was for you to feel my pain
But I've learned there's nothing to gain
from sharing the feeling of being haunted
So even when I want to throw
everything right back at you
I remind myself that I got through
and now I'm ready to let go
Just one last reminder
Next time you're in this situation
try to be a little bit kinder
Because you can never really know
how much you might mean
to the one who's watching you go
was for you to feel my pain
But I've learned there's nothing to gain
from sharing the feeling of being haunted
So even when I want to throw
everything right back at you
I remind myself that I got through
and now I'm ready to let go
Just one last reminder
Next time you're in this situation
try to be a little bit kinder
Because you can never really know
how much you might mean
to the one who's watching you go
