I woke up by myself in the middle of the night
I dreamed you were lying by my side
And I reached out to touch you
In the empty space
It's been such a long time since I kissed your face
Oh
It ain't easy x 3
On your own
It ain't easy x 3
When you're on your own
I don't wanna speak
When the sun comes up
Who's the man on the corner
With an empty cup
Nobody sees him
And no one cares
Nobody seems to know that he's been there
Oh
It ain't easy x 3
On your own
It ain't easy x 3
When you're on your own
It ain't easy on your own
It ain't easy
Oh, it ain't easy on your own

Walking in the park
Just the other day
I know that you saw me
When you looked away
You were holding his hand like you once held mine
And the stars fell down
In the back of my mind
Lord
It ain't easy x 3
When you're on your own
It ain't easy x 3
On your own
It ain't easy
It ain't easy
It ain't easy on your own
