on my own

On My Own

On my own
Pretending hes beside me
All alone
I walk with him till morning
Without him
I feel his arms around me
And when I lose my way I close my eyes
And he has found me

In the rain the pavement shines like silver
All the lights are misty in the river
In the darkness, the trees are full of starlight
And all I see is him and me forever and forever

And I know its only in my mind
That Im talking to myself and not to him
And although I know that he is blind
Still I say, theres a way for us

I love him
But when the night is over
He is gone
The rivers just a river
Without him
The world around me changes
The trees are bare and everywhere
The streets are full of strangers

I love him
But every day Im learning
All my life
Ive only been pretending
Without me
His world will go on turning
A world thats full of happiness
That I have never known

I love him
I love him
I love him
But only on my own
