If I Lived on My Own

[Verse 1]
If I lived on my own, and had nobody else to care for
I'd go out when I want, stay all night, come home later

[Pre-Chorus]
I would own nothing but my own things
I'd only follow what chance brings
I wouldn't spend my days thinking about you

[Chorus]
If I lived on my own

[Verse 2]
If I lived on my own, then you'd hear from me on your birthday
If you called I might be home, but if I missed you it wouldn't hurt me

[Pre-Chorus]
There's plenty room in this house
Much more if you moved out
And I'd not have your things to worry about

[Chorus]
If I lived on my own
If I lived on my own

[Bridge]
I don't know why you'd ever need to know
But it gets so quiet when you have to go
There'll come a time when one of us is on our own

[Verse 3]
If I lived on my own, would I spend my days thinking about you
Would I reach for the phone
If I wanted to get your advice

[Pre-Chorus]
About getting through the longest nights
Or how to go from black to white
When everything is wrong, how do you make it right?

[Outro]
If I lived on my own
If I lived on my own
