On my own - by Eponine from Les Miserables

And now I'm all alone again
Nowhere to go, no one to turn to
I did not want your money Sir
I came out here cos I was told to
And now the night is near
Now I can make believe he's here

Sometimes I walk alone at night
When everybody else is sleeping
I think of him and then
I'm happy with the company I'm keeping
The city goes to bed
Now I can live inside my head...

On my own
Pretending he's beside me
All alone I walk with him till morning
Without him I feel his arms around me
And when I lose my way
I close my eyes
And he has found me

In the rain the pavement shines like silver
All the lights are misty in the river
In the darkness the trees are full of starlight
And all I see is him and me
Forever and forever...

And I know it's only in my mind
That I'm talking to myself
And not to him
And although I know that he's blind
Still I say
There's a way for us

I love him
But when the night is over
He is gone
The river's just a river
Without him, the world around me changes
The trees are bare and
Everywhere the streets are full of strangers

I love him
But everyday I'm learning
All my life I've only been pretending
Without me, his world will go on turning
A world that's full of happiness
That I have never known

I love him
I love him
I love him
But... only
On my own.

Sigh. *sniff sniff*
