On My Own


The song "On My Own" from Les Mis is constantly STUCK in my head!

The girl singing is dear Eponine, who is in love with Marius, the guy. But Marius friendzones her (awww) and falls in love with Cosette the blonde girl. In the end Eponine dies in the very same street she sang On My Own in the rain during the French Revolution, sacrificing her life so that Marius may live. DAMMIT Eponine you poor girl! There are many other guys out there you know, like Enjolras!

I love the lyrics, cos it's so heart wrenching and humbling, and it does hurts knowing the person you love has happiness without you, and everyday you live, imagining him in everything you do.
(HAHA but i'm happy living the single life now actually! Just that this song's really good.)

On My Own 
Les Miserables

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 is 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 every day I'm learning
All my life
I've only been pretending
Without me
His world would 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
