you’re not alone

by Brendan Philip McCusker

verse 1a

you’re gettin lost

in the crowd with every needle of their own haystack

the wires cross

from the proud to good and evil when you’re on that track

verse 1b

nobody, nobody’s gonna warn ya

nobody, nobody’s gonna come back down

watch your step – all the rosy dispositions cover

thorns hidden underground

prechorus

tell yourself that it’s all just a part of the game

tell yourself that it’s not about naming a name

brush it off; no one said it would be easy

but the truth hurts more than a lie to your face

verse 2a

so pay your dues

there’s a method to the madness in the line out back

you’re making moves

all you need is steady practice and a friend in the pack

verse 2b

nobody, nobody’s gonna warn ya

nobody, nobody’s gonna come back down

watch your step – all the rosy dispositions cover

thorns hidden underground

prechorus

tell yourself that it’s all just a part of the game

tell yourself that it’s not about naming a name

brush it off; no one said it would be easy

but the truth hurts more than a lie to your face

chorus

are you waiting for it

(you’re not alone)

is it hard to admit

(that you can’t let go)

have you wanted to quit

(you’re not alone)

you can float in the wind

(but you can’t let go)
