on my own

Madeleine Peyroux

Come to, the day is new
Hit the floor, crack the door
And what do I see?
Strange kid standing there
Who is that in the mirror
Could it be me?

Someone opens the bedroom door
Somebody wanders the hall
Someone s crossing my kitchen floor
Wasn t there somebody I loved
Who lived here before?

Oh, what am I missing here
Oh, something has disappeared
Cause I m all alone
Like a leaf that s blown
Into the great unknown
On my own

Stumbling down the stairs
Run my hands through my hair
What did I say that night?
Old friend weren t you with me then
Promising to hold me tight

Outside where the day is bright
But nothing is real
I wander the city streets
Trying to remind myself
How it felt to feel

Oh, what am I missing here
Oh, something has disappeared
Cause I m all alone
Like a pebble thrown
Into the great unknown
On my own

Maybe I ll change my style
Try to be nice for a while
Paint on a sincere smile
Get in touch with my inner child

Oh, something is missing here
Oh, something has disappeared
Cause I m all alone
Like a bird that s flown
Into the great unknown
On my own
