Les Miserables - On my own
slightly modified by me

On my own
pretending she's beside me
all alone
i walk with her 'til morning
without her, i feel her arms around me
and when i lose my way i close my eyes and she 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 her and me forever and forever

and I know it's only in my mind
that i'm talking to myself and not to her
and although i know that she is blind
still i say, there's a way for us
i love her, but when the night is over
she is gone, the river just a river
without her the world around me changes
the trees are bare and everywhere the streets are full of strangers
I love her, but everyday i'm learning
all my life, i've only been pretending.
without me, her world will go on turning
a world that's full of happiness that i have never known
i love her
i love her
i love her, but only on my own
