Lalah Hathaway - On Your Own Lyrics

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 off, leaving yesterday behind
But always (remember), always (remember)
Hold on to life

So for all of your regrets
That your poor heart won't let you forget
(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 by nightfall
When then rain comes the pain goes
Washing away
The remains of a battered soul
(Trouble won't) trouble won't last always
Believe me, there'll be brighter days

So for all the times you cried (every single tear)
For every single time you tried
I know 'cause I know 'cause I know
You can make it on your own, yeah, yeah

You can make it on your own

(Yeah, yeah)
You can make it on your own

'Cause I know, 'cause I know
Yeah, yeah
You can make it on your own
Hear what I say, yeah, yeah
