美國鄉村樂女皇［蕾芭．麥肯泰］＆靈魂歌姬［佩蒂拉貝爾］的交集──鄉村流行情歌──［On My Own／形單影隻］

So many times I said it was forever

Said our love would always be true

Somethin in my heart always knew

Id be lying there beside him

On my own, On my own, On my own

So many promises never should be spoken

Now you know what loving him costs

Now youre even talking divorce

And you werent even married

On my own

Once again Im

One more time by myself

No one said it would be easy

But it once was so easy

Well I believe in love now here I stand

You wonder why

Im on my own

Why did it end this way

On my own

This wasnt how it was supposed to be

On my own

I wish that we could do it all again

So many times I know I could have told you

That losing him would cut like a knife

He walked out and there went your life

I dont want to live without him

On my own

This wasnt how it was supposed to end

On my own

I wish that we could do it all again

On my own

I never dreamed Id spend one night alone by myself

On my own

Youve got to find out where you belong again

On my own

Youve got to learn how to be strong again

On my own

I never dreamed Id spend one night alone by myself

Youve got to find out where you belong again

Your heart is saying that its time again

And I know that youre gonna shine again
