Lyrics Justin Stone – On Your Own
Text:
Oh, you can’t hear me cry
Seen my dreams all die
From where you’re standing on your own
It’s so quiet here and I feel so cold
I made a vow to change the game
Incomparable, we just ain’t the same
I’m writing for a meaning
You’re writing for the fame
Honestly, I’m thanking God for everything that I became
I could probably be like you, but I’ve always been different
Only writing music sober, you write only when you’re lifted up
I know I’m gifted, but it wasn’t given
Hours in my room, way before they ever gave attention
Now it’s happening, so everybody’s showing love
Remember shows when nobody ever showed me love
Did a headline, used to only open up
Lately I’ve been chilling, so it’s time I get my focus up
I lost sleep but gained passion, I’m old fashioned
Did this independent, never need a closed caption
Now they tell me I’m the man of the year
‘Cause I worked through my fears, now my dream’s coming true like
Oh, you can’t hear me cry
Seen my dreams all die
From where you’re standing on your own
It’s so quiet here and I feel so cold
This house no longer feels like home
Let’s go back to the days
Back when no one used to listen, had to spam to get plays
Had to message my whole friends list, commented on every video
Said «Forget the books,» never one for academics
Remember every single teacher laughin’ at my vision
Looking back, I’m glad they did
That evolved my work ethic into everything it is
Now they tell me I’m the freaking man, can’t believe I’m rising up
Used to listen to the critics, now I’m wising up
I’m making noise with no degree
They tell me go to school, well, listen, college ain’t for me
Got my mind set on my music, everybody said that’s stupid
But I’m chasing what I love while you’re just dreaming to pursue it, yeah
Listen to my words-you gotta do it now
If you’re too afraid to fall, then tell me why you’re living now?
Oh, you can’t hear me cry
Seen my dreams all die
From where you’re standing on your own
It’s so quiet here and I feel so cold
This house no longer feels like home
Oh, you can’t hear me cry
Seen my dreams all die
From where you’re standing on your own
It’s so quiet here and I feel so cold
This house no longer feels like home
