lyrics

You Don’t Have to Be Alone
If the winter wind has blown away your smile
And you haven’t held anyone close for awhile
If a box of dusty memories don’t feel like home
Just know that you don’t have to be alone
If the empty night , calls out your name
Like a lover from the top of a hill who’d been standing in the rain
If it makes you sad to face this cruel world on your own
Just know that you don’t have to be alone
I wanna be the light, shining through your darkest night
You and I have both been so lonesome with that emptiness inside
When you’re feeling far away, living low and scared
Roll a little further down the line,
and I’ll be waiting there in the unknown
You don’t have to be alone.
If the graveyard clouds, keep pushing you back to bed
Instead of living outside you are living in dream instead
You keep trying to find a little gold, but you keep coming up with stones
Just know that you don’t have to be alone
If this part of the lesson, aint what you had in mind
You keep telling yourself you tried and it was not a waste of time
A spark can re-light a fire as bright as it ever shone
Just know that you don’t have to be alone
