Story Behind The Song
My friends always question me when I break up with hot women. They never understand my reasoning, so they doubt what I do. I give a few examples of why it doesn't work out and proclaim that I'm "On My Own Again!"
Song Description
The guy in the song tells the story of how he's been doubted through his many decisions in life and why he's on his own; basically because of his decisions to walk out on the women who think he's THE ONE (and why).

Lyrics
she says I walk too fast for her
& that my life is too much work
the harder that I try (to no avail)
the more she seems to mind (and I fail)
I wonder if I shouldn't be (one more time)
on my own again
knowing where I've been
there's no one who can see from outside
I took a chance to find what was hidden inside
despite the doubts I heard along the way
black will never turn to white
& I was born to live at night
they all think it's me (I’m the one)
they’re better off to leave (I'm no good)
I'm damned & chastised either way (one more time)
well I can't be your saving grace
cause good intentions fade away when I'm gone
and you can't wait
on my own again
