"You're Not Alone" - Jesse Johnson
“You’re Not Alone” lyrics
Trading bad memories
For worse habits again
Trying to bury what still haunts you
No one to trust, so you construct
A false reality that’s just
Where no more hate can penetrate
The walls in your mind that you’ve made
Whatever you had to put up with
Wasn’t fair
But you can call me anytime
These circumstances
Were outside of your control
And whether you can see it or not
You’re stronger than you know
Chorus:
And you’re not alone
Cause I’m nothing without you
Though it still feels cold
And when you hurt, I know
Cause I feel it too
The joy that you once knew
Now feels lifetimes ago
What happened
And where did the time go?
You try to run, but you can’t hide
From this contagion in your mind
Confidence shot by dismal thoughts
Though you push back with all you’ve got
You’ve come so far
Though it feels like you’re far behind
Whatever gets you down’s
Not always right
These circumstances
Were outside of your control
And whether you can see it or not
You’re stronger than you know (chorus)
I’ll be there
But I wish this would take me
Instead of you
You’re not alone
