Nemesis Rising

On My Own

Nemesis Rising


I see it in your pretty face 
In your eyes I look but there is no trace 
Anymore,anymore 
And I hear it in your gentle voice 
When you call my name, it doesn't sound the same 
Anymore, anymore 

And so I know
How could I not 
That you're gonna leave now
And there's no way you can be stopped 

But, baby, what if I don't want you to go? Oh no 
Even after all this time I'm still not ready 
What if I can't stand up as you go? Oh no 
And I wind up down on my knees can't stop shaking 
No, I've got to be strong 
Somehow I've gotta find 
Some way to get along on my own 

I feel it when I touch your skin 
There is no love at all 
When you kiss my lips 
Anymore, anymore 
And I sense it in the space that you keep 
You've got plans going on 
That don't include me 
Anymore, anymore 

And so I know
How could I not 
That you're gonna leave now
And there's no way you can be stopped 

But, baby, what if I don't want you to go? Oh no 
Even after all this time I'm still not ready 
What if I can't stand up as you go? Oh no 
And I wind up down on my knees can't stop shaking 
No, I've got to be strong 
Somehow I've gotta find 
Some way to get along on my own 

But what if I don't 
What if I won't 
What if I can't 
Make myself whole 
Tell me would you be 
There for me 
In my time of need 
Will you rescue me 
Could you hold me 

Baby, what if I don't want you to go? Oh no 
Even after all this time I'm still not ready 
What if I can't stand up as you go? Oh no 
And I wind up down on my knees can't stop shaking 
I've got to be strong 
Somehow I'm gonna find 
Some way to get along on my own 
All alone
