On My Own Lyrics

Shawn Colvin On My Own

If I don't see you
Before I go
Remember what you've seen
And what you know
Sunshine, you will be
On my mind eternally
But let's just you remember you
And I'll remember me


[Chorus:]
I'm gonna be on my own
It's a long way home
I feel like a baby boy
Just bein' born


A captive of your heart I guess I was
You gave no reason for stopping loving me
Just because
You dragged yourself right down
You did not hear a sound
But for the tapping of your teardrops
On the ground


[Chorus]


If you find your true love
Once again
Please don't do the same damn thing
To them
'Cause even when I was with you
I felt so all alone
I'd just as soon do without you and be
On my own


[Chorus]
