[Verse 1]
I could be small in a big world
Somebody stays
But it's not you
I could be your mother if I wanted so
But I think you need
[Chorus 1]
To be on your own now
On your own now (3x)
[Verse 2]
And I could just drown in the ocean
Somebody saves me
But it's not you
And I could be your lighthouse if you wanted so
But you just want
[Chorus 1]
To be on your own now
On your own now (3x)
[Verse 3]
And I could be rich in a poor world
Somebody calls
But it's not you
I could be your lover if you wanted so
But you just want
[Chorus 1]
To be on your own now
On your own now (3x)
[Bridge]
Hey little sister
Don't you find a mister
He'll only break your heart
Into a thousand little pieces
Hey darling mother
Why do you even bother
Teaching all your babies
That love is forever
[Chorus 2]
On your own now (7x)
