You’re On Your Own versuri

Versuri Teal Wicks – You're On Your Own lyrics

[Song is part of a longer concert. Video is cued to begin at 1:21:04]

Somebody always gave you the answer,
Smiled while you stood there sucking your thumb,
Taught you to do a few imitations —
Nothing that you’d learned anything from.

Wasn’t it you who was privately raising hell,
Seeking a role you could play to a fare-thee-well?
Well,

Stand up and cheer.
You’re on your own.
No one to steer you;
You’re on your own.
No more the sound of a voice to prompt from the wings.
What if your heart doesn’t make it?
Go on, fake it!

Take it from here —
You said you could.
Go stand the world on its ear, now,
If you’re so good.
It’s all so painfully clear now,
Out here alone.
Here’s where the orchestra stops,
And they remove all the props,
And all your pink-painted drops
Are flown.
You’re on,
And you’re on your own.

[Narration. Song resumes at 1:24:20]

Stand up and cheer.
You’re on your own.
No one to steer you;
You’re on your own.
No more the sound of a voice to prompt from the wings.
What if your heart doesn’t make it?
Go on, fake it!

Take it from here —
You said you could.
Go stand the world on its ear, now,
If you’re so good.
It’s all so painfully clear now,
Out here alone.
Here’s where the orchestra stops,
And they remove all the props,
And all your pink-painted drops
Are flown.
You’re on,
And you’re on your own.
