On My Own

It's like being under water
A slight pressure on your chest
Everything around you blurs
Running out of air

I'm treading all this water
Getting weaker, growing tired
Now I'm drifting through a darker blue
Sinking deeper in the fading light

You can try to understand what it feels like
But I'm out here going through it on my own
And I'm feeling all these things at the same time
Even though you're right here, I'm still alone

Ooh I'm on my own
I've gotta get through this on my own

Like being locked into a dark room
No door leading outside
A small window with the perfect view
And there's nothing that I haven't tried

To be like one of them
To be less like me
To fake the smile
To fake happy
But of all the things I'd rather be I'll still choose me

You can try to understand what it feels like
But I'm out here going through it on my own
And I'm feeling all these things at the same time
Even though you're right here, I'm still alone

You can try to understand what it feels like
When I'm going through it you can't come along
And I'm feeling all these things at the same time
Even though you're right here, I'm still alone

Ooh I'm on my own
I've gotta get through this on my own
