Song Lyrics

On my own
Pretending he's beside me
All alone
I walk with till morning
I feel his arms around me
And when I lose my way, I close me eyes
And he has found me

In the rain, the pavement shines like silver
All the lights are misty in the river
In the darkness, the trees are full of starlight
And all I see is he and me forever and forever

And I know it's only in my mind
That I'm talking to myself, and not to him
And although and he is blind
Still I say " there's a way for us"

I love him, but when the night is over
He is gone, the rivers is just a river
Without him, the world around me changes
The trees are bare and everywhere
The streets are full of strangers

I love him
But every day I'm learning
All my life, I've only been pretending
Without me, this world will go on turning
A world that's full of happiness
That I have never known

I love him
I love him
I love him
But only on my own
