Left my home, packed my dreams
Thought the world was mine to take
Felt so grown, full of hope
Like I had what it would take
But then the bills came knockin'
And doubt moved into my head
Found out dreams cost more
Than the words I once had said
They said, "Just believe"
But belief don't pay the rent
And I learned real fast
What being on your own really meant
But I don’t cry like I used to
Don’t fear the dark like before
Every scar is a story
That made me fight a little more
I’m still young, but I’ve grown
Living life on my own
Might fall down, but I rise
With the fire in my bones
Yeah, I’ve been through the night
But I’m chasing the light
I’m on my own
And I’ll be all right
I thought I had to shine
Brighter than the rest
Like I had to be the best
To just feel a little less
Like I wasn’t enough
But maybe strength is soft
Like learning how to lose
And still finding what you're made of
No more waiting on someone
To come and carry me through
I’ve got these hands, this heart
And I’ve got something to prove
But I don’t cry like I used to
Don’t fear the dark like before
Every scar is a story
That made me fight a little more
I’m still young, but I’ve grown
Living life on my own
Might fall down, but I rise
With the fire in my bones
Yeah, I’ve been through the night
But I’m chasing the light
I’m on my own
And I’ll be all right
They don’t see the nights I bled
The doubts that filled my bed
But I’m still here, still breathing
Still believing in what’s ahead
No, I don’t cry like I used to
Don’t fear the dark anymore
Every bruise made me braver
Every "no" opened a door
I’m still young, but I’ve grown
Living life on my own
Might fall down, but I rise
With the fire in my bones
Yeah, I’ve been through the night
But I’m chasing the light
I’m on my own
And I’ll be all right.
I’ve got no map, just my name
But I walk on just the same
Every step, every fall
Taught me how to stand tall
So if the night feels too long
I just hum my own song
I’m still here, still alive
And I’m learning how to thrive
On my own...
Yeah, on my own...
But I’ll be all right
Left my home, packed my dreams
