On My Own
by Shamir

I am happy to support this track as it hints as a return to form for Shamir. Snappier, cleaner, and a lot more focused and cohesive than his recent efforts after his debut, the guitar riff is something you can really get into, and you can appreciate Shamir's pop sensibilities here. I hope he finds where his strength lies, i.e. electronic pop songs like this and 'On the Regular', and finds the grit and inspiration to continue putting out work like this.

lyrics
I used to think that love was fleeting, you'll just end up hurt
But it's a cosmic game of meetings, that may never work… and I think…
Maybe I deserve a little more, and life will get easier
But i don't believe in love anymore, don't bargain with my worth.. Cuz..
I don't mind to live all on my own… and I never did.. And
I don't care to feel like i belong… But you always did…
I always thought my heart was freezing, and i'm just cold
But i refuse to fucking suffer, just to feel whole… now I know
Maybe I can find the one, the more i rid myself
Of thinking i can't love anyone, even if it's the devil himself
I don't mind to live all on my own… and I never did.. And
I don't care to feel like i belong… But you always did…
And I feel it in my bones, inside myself is where I belong
Maybe I don't care anymore, and that can be the truth
But i'm not gonna try anymore, to fall in love with you…
But it's a cosmic game of meetings, that may never work… and I think…
Maybe I deserve a little more, and life will get easier
But i don't believe in love anymore, don't bargain with my worth.. Cuz..
I don't mind to live all on my own… and I never did.. And
I don't care to feel like i belong… But you always did…
I always thought my heart was freezing, and i'm just cold
But i refuse to fucking suffer, just to feel whole… now I know
Maybe I can find the one, the more i rid myself
Of thinking i can't love anyone, even if it's the devil himself
I don't mind to live all on my own… and I never did.. And
I don't care to feel like i belong… But you always did…
And I feel it in my bones, inside myself is where I belong
Maybe I don't care anymore, and that can be the truth
But i'm not gonna try anymore, to fall in love with you…
