Stayed awake all night, toss and turnin'
Now my bloodshot eyes are burnin'
Workin' out why this ain't workin'
Fight after fight after fight
And now it's killin' me.

You were too busy to believe in
All the runaway dreams I was dreamin'
Time to pack up and go, I'm leavin'
Fight after fight after fight
And now I gotta be.

On my own
And livin' in a world alone
Gets better everyday
That I don't have to say I'm sorry I'm coming home
I'm gonna make it on my own
I'll always take the harder road
Get's better everyday
That I don't have to say I'm sorry I'm coming home

How'd you end up oh so jaded?
Cynical and so sedated.
Can't live in this world you created
Day after day after day
And now I gotta be.

On my own
And livin' in a world alone
Gets better everyday
That I don't have to say I'm sorry I'm coming home
I'm gonna make it on my own
I'll always take the harder road
Get's better everyday
That I don't have to say I'm sorry I'm coming home

Yeah, you'll always be the lonely one
Yeah, you'll always try to swallow the sun
Just remember you can never make it rain on anyone

On my own and livin' in a world alone
Gets better every 'cause I don't have to say
And now you're killin me.

On my own
And livin' in a world alone
Gets better everyday
That I don't have to say I'm sorry I'm coming home
I'm gonna make it on my own
I'll always take the harder road
Get's better everyday
That I don't have to say I'm sorry I'm coming home

(I'll make it on my own)
I'm sorry, I won't be comin' home
(I'll make it on my own)
I'm sorry, I won't be comin' home
(I'll make it on my own)
I'm sorry, I won't be comin' home
(I'll make it on my own)
I'm sorry, I won't be comin' home.
