When You're On Your Own (One Mic Home Recording)

Lyrics:

(D) Shut the door and keep them all at (C) bay
(D) Close the curtains hide the light of (C) the day
(G) But when you're on your own, it doesn't make the pain (D) go away.

They don't know what's been done to you,
They don't know the pain that you battle through,
But when you're on your own you ain't never gonna get it through.

Talking to someone never seems easy at all,
When you do it always feels like you're going to fall,
But when you're on your own it's better to make that call.

(G) I don't feel like seeing anybody (D) today
Feel better if I just go my own way
I don't really appreciate the things that they'd say

I cant stop the hurt I can't give it a name
I can't stop the hurt Won't take away the pain

(D) Talking to anyone is never easy at all (C)
(D) I'll never ever want to make that (C) call,
(G)But when you're on your own it just feels like (D) nothing at all.

And in the end I just want a good friend.
And in the end I just want to be held.
By someone who really loves me.
Feels like nothing at all.
