On my own

And now I'm all alone again
Nowhere to turn, no one to go to
Without a home, without a friend,
without a face to say hello to
The city goes to bed
And I can live inside my head

On my own
Pretending they're beside me
All alone I walk with them 'til morning
Without them, I feel their arms around me
And when I lose my way, I close my eyes
And they have found me

And I know it's only in my mind
That I'm talking to myself and not to them
And although I know that they are blind
Still I say there's a way for us

I love them
But every day I'm learning
All my life
I've only been pretending
Without me
Their world will go on turning
