Why do I feel it’s all up to me
To see that everything’s right
and it’s how it should be
Why don’t they just leave me alone
I’ve got to prove I can

Little girl with stars in her eyes
They’ve got her all figured out
And there’s nowhere to hide
Why can’t they all see who I am
when will they understand

It may take some time
They don’t know how it feels
Because they can’t read my mind
They always say I’m too young
And they feel they should help me
But I can make it all alone
Out here on my own

Every day I feel so in demand
And all I wish I could find
Is a place I can land
One day I’ll feel comfort inside
Cause I’ll know who I am

I can hold the line
If I know in the end that I won’t be left behind
I don’t regret what I’ve done
I don’t think you can blame me
Now I’m standin’ all alone
Out here on my own

I’m not thinking ’bout leavin’ home
But I need to be on my own
Doesn’t mean I have a heart of stone
I won’t even ask them why
I can’t ever let them see me cry
Here I’m standing all alone
Out here on my own
Out here on my own

Feeling lost in a world full of lies
I can’t help thinkin’ that love is just passin’ me by
Hold on to what I believe
And keep an open hand

Can I have it all
If there’s no one to turn to
When I stumble and fall
Is there a secret I need
Because no one has told me
All alone

It may take some time
Cause I know how it feels to have a lot on your mind
I’ll never feel all alone
Cause know that I have me
Now I can make it all alone
Out here on my own
