Doing It All On Your Own

from Citizens by Owensie

/

lyrics

Fixing files at my day-job
A woman called to the door
Her husband dead not a fortnight
She needed help with a form

They'd just gotten by on his pension
And his passing seems such a shame
He'd kept her warm in the cold nights
And all the bills in his name


Now she's doing it all on her own
Lone as the flower on the graveside
Sharing her life with a void
Its hard to restart with a broken heart


A young man came with a letter
In need of somewhere to live
He takes his son at the weekends
And the mother's happy he is

He always fights with his father
Who gets confused when he drinks
The neighbours broke up the last big fight
And he threw him out on the street


Now he's doing it all on his own
Too young to deal with the pressure
Confusing his fear with his pride
He tries to appear like he knows all the answers


Doing it all on your own.
