On my Own Lyrics

Prospects

Have come

And gone

No one stays

For too long

Seemingly

A Waste

Of Time

To keep on

Giving folks

A try

I've heard

So many lies

So many times

I've tried

To get past

The talking stage

But interest

Just fades away

When it's just me

My pockets aren't empty

Money and peace

I have plenty

So if your not adding

To my life

Making me feel safe inside

Plus I need your sugar and spice

But still talk to me nice

Yes I have real

High Standards

That's cause

I deserve better

I'm done settling

For less

If it's not the best

I won't invest

Anymore time

And effort

If you can't stand

The pressure

I'd rather be by myself

Then to break up with

Someone else

If you can't bring peace

To my home

I'd rather be On My Own

If you don't know my worth

If you can't put me first

I know what I deserve

I'd rather be

On my own

If you don't know my worth

If you can't put me first

I know what I deserve

I'd rather be

On my own

Yes I want real

Compassion

Love long

Lasting

Something

Unconditional

Push me

Toward

My goals

I'm not

A punching bag

I'm not

A door mat

I'm taking

A stand

Demanding my respect

My heart is my own

To protect

So now

I'm wearing

A bulletproof vest

You'll have to prove

Your worthy

Without a doubt

I need certainty

I need

Sincerity

Communication

And clarity

I'm not reading

Between the lines

I'm not here to read minds

No longer is my heart

On my sleeve

I'm here to rescue me

I need undivided attention

I need to know your intentions

I'm not for manipulation

Rather have some dedication

If you can't be mine

And mine alone

I'd rather be On my Own

If you don't know my worth

If you can't put me first

I know what I deserve

I'd rather be

On my own

If you don't know my worth

If you can't put me first

I know what I deserve

I'd rather be

On my own

If you don't know my worth

If you can't put me first

I know what I deserve

I'd rather be

On my own

If you don't know my worth

If you can't put me first

I know what I deserve

I'd rather be

On my own
