on your own

Singer: justin stone

oh

you can't hear me cry

seen my dreams all die

from where you're standing on your own

it's so quiet here and i feel so cold

this house no longer feels like home

i made a vow to change the game

incomparable

we just ain't the same

i'm writing for a meaning

you're writing for the fame

honestly

i'm thanking god for everything that i became

i could probably be like you

but i've always been different

only writing music sober

you write only when you're lifted up

i know i'm gifted

but it wasn't given

hours in my room

way before they ever gave attention

now it's happening

so everybody's showing love

remember shows when nobody ever showed me love

did a headline

used to only open up

lately i've been chilling

so it's time i get my focus up

i lost sleep but gained passion

i'm old fashioned

did this independent

never need a closed caption

now they tell me i'm the man of the year

'cause i worked through my fears

now my dream's coming true like

oh

you can't hear me cry

seen my dreams all die

from where you're standing on your own

it's so quiet here and i feel so cold

this house no longer feels like home

let's go back to the days

back when no one used to listen

had to spam to get plays

had to message my whole friends list

commented on every video

but that never worked

i wanted to be on centerfolds

said forget the books
