I'm On My Own
Journey of Independence: Mercy Collazo's 'I'm On My Own' Explained
Lyrics
I'm on my own
Feeling a sense of independence and self-reliance.
I'm on my own
Reiterating the theme of being alone and self-sufficient.
I took the train and I would take it again
Expressing a past decision to take a journey, possibly metaphorical, and a willingness to repeat it.
If it could tell me that we still could be friends
Desiring reassurance from the journey that a friendship could still be salvaged.
And I don't want to go back
Expressing a reluctance to return to a previous point of difficulty or disagreement.
To the same place where we lost track
Not wanting to revisit the place where the relationship derailed.
I think that every day is lost in your gaze
Believing that each day is wasted by being captivated in the other person's gaze.
As though your eyes can't contain all of the blaze
Suggesting that the intensity of emotions expressed in the gaze is overwhelming.
Cuz I, Im on my own
Reiterating the theme of being alone and self-sufficient.
But there's a reason why I believed in you
Highlighting a rationale for having faith or trust in the other person.
And there's a reason why I needed you
Indicating a necessity or dependency on the other person.
And why am I still leaving you
Expressing confusion or conflict about the decision to distance oneself.
I'm on my own
Reiterating the theme of being alone and self-sufficient.
I'm on my own
Emphasizing a sense of isolation and self-reliance.
Cuz I don't need anyone by
Asserting independence by stating the lack of need for anyone else.
By my side, anymore.
Declaring a self-sufficient stance and rejecting the need for companionship.
The pain I feel, is more than me
Describing an overwhelming emotional pain that surpasses individual capacity.
Please leave it there
Requesting to leave the pain unresolved or unaddressed.
I'm on my own
Reiterating the theme of being alone and self-sufficient.
I'm on my own
Emphasizing a sense of isolation and self-reliance.
Yes I'm on my own
Affirming the current state of being alone and self-sufficient.
I'm on my own, now
Reiterating the theme of being alone and self-sufficient.
