lyrics

I could be small in a big world
Somebody stays
But it's not you
I could be your mother if I wanted so
But I think you need
To be on your own now

On your own now

And I could just drown in the ocean
Somebody saves me
But it's not you
And I could be your lighthouse if you wanted so
But you just want
To be on your own now

On your own now

And I could be rich in a poor world
Somebody calls
But it's not you
I could be your lover if you wanted so
But you just want
To be on your own now

On your own now

Hey little sister
Don't you find a mister
He'll only break your heart
Into a thousand little pieces

Hey darling mother
Why do you even bother
Teaching all your babies
That love is forever

On your own now
