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 I know that I have me
Now, I can make it all alone, out here, on my own
