Lyrics
When I look to the other side
I just can't go, just can't go
Two lanes in a checkout line
I just don't know, just don't know
If I choose when I can't decide
On my own, on my own
It's all designed to keep me here
And if I go, then I can't point it out
I can't leave what I left behind
And just let go, just let go
'Cause I believe in what I cannot find
I just don't know, just don't know
I can't say 'cause I haven't tried
On my own, on my own
You promised not to leave me here
Leave me on my own
And it feels like
A voice that is within me
And it feels like
These eyes are filled with envy
And it feels like
It's wrong, but you know
A song for tomorrow
You're gone and you're on your own
My room, but I will not hide
I just can't go, just can't go
And if I seem a little preoccupied
I just don't know, just don't know
We lost track, but I didn't mind
On my own, on my own
It's all designed to keep me here
But if I go, then I can't point it out
Jumped out at the corner where I had to stop
I took off and I might've made a couple blocks
And now I ran 'til I couldn't see
Everything you tried to put in front of me
Chasing everything that wasn't left to miss
And keeping my heart inside my chest
I'm not really kneeling, I'm not really healing
I'm just in between
And it feels like
A voice that is within me
And it feels like
These eyes are filled with envy
And it feels like
It's wrong but you know
A song for tomorrow
You're gone and you go
And it feels like
A voice that is within me
And it feels like
These eyes are filled with envy
And it feels like
It's wrong but you know
A song for tomorrow
You're gone and you're on your own
'Cause I lie to myself
That I need what I don't
When I wish that you'd call
And I'd run back home
But I hate when I heal
Then I leave when I won't
'Cause I think that I'll find something else
And it feels like
A voice that is within me
And it feels like
These eyes are filled with envy
And it feels like
It's wrong but you know
A song for tomorrow
You go
And it feels like
A voice that is within me
And it feels like
These eyes are filled with envy
And it feels like
It's wrong but you know
A song for tomorrow
You're gone and you're on your own
Oh!
You're on your own
On your own
On your own
