On Your Own Lyrics - Self Portrait - Lalah Hathaway

If you were meant to be together 

Then you would know that it's right 

After all this time, you'd be by his side 

And if it were meant to be forever 

You'd still be living in that dream 

So it seems 

So for all the times you cried 

And the many times he lied 

I'll tell you 'cause I know 

You can make it on your own 

So your heart belongs to you now 

And you know that it's right 

Free from that make believe love story 

In your mind (in your mind, in your mind) 

Feel so much better, leaving yesterday behind 

But always remember, hold on to life 

So for all of your regrets

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

That your poor heart won't let you forget 

I can tell you 'cause I know 

You can make it on your own 

You'll be wiser in the morning 

So much stronger when the sun rises 

So don't find your fear alarming 

Your pain will disappear like nightfall 

Will then rain comes, the pain goes 

Wash it away 

The remains of a battered soul 

Trouble won't' last always 

Believe me there'll be brighter days 

So for all the time you cried (every single tears) 

Every single time you tried 

I know cause I know cause I know 

You can make it on your own
