Alanis Morissette - On My Own Lyrics






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!
Know that I have me
Now I can make it all alone out here on my own

Alanis Morissette On My Own Comments
  1. L.... ....

    Why doesn't Alanis have this album on her YouTube channel?

  2. K.... K....

    Love the late 80s/early 90s vibes 💚💯💯 Alanis with that Angel voice 😍😍😍😍

  3. E.... S....

    This song still amazes me...now, I will admit, I had not heard this until long after JLP and I was so curious about the early stuff, I heard bits and pieces of the music from Alanis's Behind The Music, when I finally heard this song, it blew me away, it was so true in her lyrics that she was not a fan of living the goody goody good girl lie she had to be during this and on her second album Now Is The Time...I hear the real Alanis coming out of this and I also hear it in Real World ( the opening track from Now Is The Time ). I won't lie, had I been a kid in Canada and got to a chance to have heard the early albums, no doubt I would have a been a fan so soon and it would have been a major adjustment to JLP...I am only 4 months and 18 days younger than Alanis and I am so in tune with her and I am a fan for life and I am glad her career went as it did....and I am glad she found what music and what things in life makes her happy, I never want her to be anything but what she has become and is! She is like a dear friend to me ( due to her great talent ). I do appreciate these early albums too, it made her who she is musically and she seen what was right about it and wrong too, and learned from this experiences that came out of it
