Out in the world on my own
don't like to be here bymyself
looking for something inside me
that will guide me in direction of hope
don't like to be out in the world on my own
(chorus)
Cuz i don't wanna live my life like something i don't know
Can't find that thing inside of me that will help me grow
Can't stand to live... out in the world on my own
Feeln sry for myself
cause i can't be where i wanna be
left out by myself
hoping and wondering for the perfect day
don't like to be out in the world on my own
cause i don't wanna live my life like sumtn i don't know
can't find that thing inside of me that will help me grow
can't stand to live out in the world on my own
....................................
music
....................................
(repeat chorus)
out in the world on my own
