On Your Own

(album: The Places We'll Never Be - 2021)

I remember when you told me I was everything
While you were lining up my neck beneath your guillotine
I gave you my heart, I gave you my word, I gave you a ring
But you were the monster behind the curtain pulling the strings

I know, I know you've had it hard cause your story's on your skin
But my story just got hard cause I had you in my head
And I know you're let down but you did this to yourself

Tell me when you let your heart grow cold
Everybody says it's all my fault
We both know you did this on your own
And I thought that you would let me go
Tell me when you let your heart grow cold
Everybody says it's all my fault
We both know you did this on your own
And I thought that you would let me go

But you never stayed afloat
So you wrapped your hands around your throat
And you point the finger when you choke
But you did it on your own, own own own

Everything you wanted
Say the word you got it
I held back everything I felt cause you were more important
Maybe I'm out of pocket
Maybe I'm worried for ya
Or maybe my anxiety has turned to paranoia

Too many times to try and count
You make your way in just so I can bail you out
I see the words come from the corners of your own mouth
You took yourself to rock bottom and you stayed down

Tell me when you let your heart grow cold
Everybody says it's all my fault
We both know you did this on your own
And I thought that you would let me go
Tell me when you let your heart grow cold
Everybody says it's all my fault
We both know you did this on your own
And I thought that you would let me go

But you never stayed afloat
So you wrapped your hands around your throat
And you point the finger when you choke
But you did it on your own, own own own
Own own own
Own own own
Own own own

Tell me when you let your heart grow cold
Everybody says it's all my fault
We both know you did this on your own
And I thought that you would let me go
Tell me when you let your heart grow cold
Everybody says it's all my fault
We both know you did this on your own
And I thought that you would let me go
