On My Own
Struggling with the jar of sauce
I remember with a flick of a wrist you got it off
But things are different nowadays
Oh hell I didn't want spaghetti any ways
I am making it on my own!
Flat tires and a car that won't start
I remember how you could fix it all
Now it?s Triple A and a 30-minute wait
Guess I really don't mind being late
I am making it on my own!
Down for the count, in bed with the flu
I remember you taking care of the important things
So I pop a few pills for my aching head
And drag my sorry butt out of bed
I am making it on my own!
The drip drip drip of the leaky faucet
I remember you were the washer king
Pipe wrench and repair kit still in the drawer
Guess it can wait just a few days more
I am making it on my own!
Thunder and lightening, a cold rainy night
I remember hot chocolate and sitting by the fire
So I boil some water and turn up the heat
Grab an extra blanket and put socks on my feet
I am making it on my own!
But when I am overcome with loneliness
And just want someone to hold
An empty bed and a memory just won't do
I need to hear that sweet "Goodnight I love you"
I don't like making it on my own.!
