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
