Can you see beyond the walls you created? Climb, climb on out from the life you always hated.

[Chorus]: But if we try, we can learn to live outside. Open up the door, open up the door and say goodbye. They will miss you, but you know they understand. It’s time to get out of here, maybe come back a better man.

Then, and only then, will you see the world you’re missing. That voice inside your head says go, and finally you’re listening.

[Chorus] You’re on your own, but you never felt so free. The roads are long now, and they’re just waiting there for me. Oh, if I should die, tell my love I really tried, and although I’m gone, at least I got to finally live my life.

A baby is born in the city, and here he may choose to stay, but that baby may never know the life he could’ve had. Don’t you sometimes feel this way?

[Chorus] You’re on your own, but you never felt so free. The roads are long now, and they’re just waiting there for me. Oh, if I should die, tell my love I really tried, and although I’m gone, at least I got to finally live my life.

You’re on your own, but you never felt so free. The roads are long now, they’re just waiting there for me. Oh, if I should die, tell my love I really tried, and although I’m gone, at least I got to finally live my life.

You’re on your own now, you’re on your own, you’re on your own. You’re on your own now, let’s just see how much you’ve grown. Oh, if I should die, tell my love I really tried, and although I’m gone, at least I got to finally say goodbye.

and although I’m gone, at least I got to finally say I tried.

and although I’m gone, at least I got to finally live my life.
