Verse 1

 I fake a smile and say I'm fine

 I know I should have seen the signs

 but I loved you I was blind

 pretendin' we were only killin' time

a white lie

 never thought we'd say goodbye

 I thought love of our kind

 could turn water into wine but I'm

Chorus

on my own

 tryin' to get a hold of things

 what a mess I'm in

 I've done wrong

 that is why my baby's gone

 I got myself to blame

 here I am

lonely and broken again

I keep holdin' on

another lover's gone

Verse 2

 I'm gettin' tired, another try

 another failure to reach the sky

 but I'll always keep on lookin' for

somebody to be standin' by my side

for Miss Right

 for what makes humanity divine

 but I can't seem to find

someone to love for life so I'm...

Chorus

on my own

 tryin' to get a hold of things

 what a mess I'm in

 I've done wrong

 that is why my baby's gone

 I got myself to blame

 here I am

lonely and broken again

I keep holdin' on

another lover's gone

Bridge

love is not an easy game

 when you're gamblin' with your heart at stake

 there's nothing to gain if you're playin' safe

 barely time to heal before you brake

I hope and pray

 I got what it takes to make it all the way

Chorus

on my own

 tryin' to get a hold of things

 what a mess I'm in

 I've done wrong

 that is why my baby's gone

 I got myself to blame

 here I am

lonely and broken again

I keep holdin' on

another lover's gone
