Justin Stone - On Your Own lyrics

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

I made a vow to change the game
Incomparable, we just ain't the same
I'm writing for a meaning
You're just 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
But that never worked
I wanted to be on centerfolds
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
