all by myself

by brendan philip mccusker

verse 1

i guess we had a connection

at least i thought that we did

upon some further inspection

there was a lot that you hid

pre 1

so talk is cheap, talk is cheap

it was never that deep

(save all the tailor-fit lines)

drag your feet, drag your feet

say you needed the sleep

(what a gratuitous lie)

pre breakdown

wish i had a clue

that i was always the glue

but here we are

chorus

i’m gonna keep on keepin’ on

cause i don’t know when to fade out

i’ll make it up as i go along

cause i don’t wanna sit around being 

stuck inside the days that i was 

saving someone else

so i’m starting from the bottom again

all by myself

verse 2

this time is gonna be different

(how’s it gonna be different)

i’m making all of the rules

(what was wrong with the rules)

i’m talking passionate action

(passionate, passionate action)

it wasn’t cool being cool

(you know you’ve never been cool)

whatever

pre 2

so let it rain, let it rain

i can swim in the blame

(i used to live in that sea)

numb the pain, numb the pain

i won’t stand in the way)

(you gotta live and be free)
