You're On Your Own - Second Wind Bandits

It’s good to look into your eyes
After all this time
I’m happy that you’re here to see
The ones you left behind
I remember what you said to me
When you walked out the door
You said that life is short, and your new love offered more… he offered more

I didn’t see it coming
I had no clue at all
No sign or premonition I’d shortly take a fall
You left behind two children
For me to raise alone
The kids and me, we’re all cried out, and we still have this home

Chorus #1

And we think of your less often
And we rarely speak your name
But silently we wonder
How you bear your shame
Well I see you’re still a beauty
For that you should be glad
I heard your new love set you out
It’s oh so sad
It’s oh so sad…

‘Cause you’re on your own
You’re on your own

Please don’t tell me that I shouldn’t talk to you this way
And don’t dare hope I’ll take you back
There’s nothing you can say
‘Cause I’ve had lots of time to think
The way things used to be
Nothing was ever good enough
And you had no faith in me

Chorus #2

You were casually spiteful
Theatrically cruel
You’ve fallen upon hard times
But you hate to play the fool
Well I believe in heaven
And I believe in hell
And I know where you’re going to…
A cheap hotel
A cheap hotel…

‘Cause you’re on your own
You’re on your own
