In My Life - On My Own, But Not Alone

Dream of what Tomorrow may bring to our front porch
I’m fearless to say that I used to bleed out remorse
Before I met you…of course
I used to cry myself asleep because I felt so alone
Before I met you, I was on my own
Some say “you must pay the price one way or another”, but I 
say take your time and let your happiness never last
For we are meant to be together forever...live for the now 
and future and don't look back at the wretched past
You don't have to bottle up your tears
Let them pour out of your eyes - you've concealed them for 
years...replace them with cheers, not doubts and fears

*chorus* I never thought that I HAD the bravery and the 
time to save you from the world of woe’s demise – I’m very 
protective over you like a momma bear
But, I must tell you someday, so that you’re aware
That you are someone special in my heart – I can’t conceal 
the truth of what I feel for you deep inside
In my life, in my life, I’m still stuck in the solitary cave 
In my life, in my life, I thought I wasn’t at all brave
I was caved in by the cravings of my heart
The darkness once ripped me apart
But, you repaired me and I recovered pretty fast
So, please listen up! I must tell you about my good and bad 
past
Fear doesn’t exist here 
Get a grip on the rope of hope
All anxieties are gone
We dream on like daydreamers, awaiting another great, 
delight-illuminated dawn 
I’ll love you until my life is no more
I’ll love you, even if you have strayed into the darkness
I love you from the bottom of the ocean to the heavens 
above
I’ll love you – I won’t get over you and you’re my love at 
first sight – you were and still are a dazzling, surreal sight – 
you kiss me and I’m overwhelmed with passionate bliss 
I will love you if you would step out of the abyss with me
I’m fearless to say that I used to bleed out remorse
Before I met you…of course
I used to cry myself asleep because I felt so alone
Before I met you, I was on my own

V.11: I want you back in my life so that I can change 
everything around…trust me, if you dare…and all you give 
me in return is a vacant, expressionless stare
Don’t go…Don’t leave…I want you to stay a while…sit with 
me on the ground and we’ll hang out with each other, 
talking about what’s on our mind and cracking up jokes here 
and there – I’m on my own, but not alone when you’re right 
there!
I’m no longer that magazine, alone on the magazine rack 
You’re a beloved story – in other words,
 ~My dream of reality – you are not a ridiculous myth
Someday, you’ll stay here with me…I pray…I pray that day 
would come someday
Somehow, you’ll see me through the pain…dismiss the 
ghosts of the past…
There’s days when I feel positive when you’re around
At least I'm not grief-stricken or gravity-bound
