Alone

Jess Klein


When I say that he left me, I know 
It's not that clear who rowed 
When I say that I'm lonely, I know 
It's not their fault 
Life isn't always a ball 

Everyone's gotta be alone sometimes 
Everyone's gotta be alone sometimes 
You can laugh alone or cry alone or look between the lines 
But everyone's gotta be alone sometimes 

When I say that my scars are my strengths 
I don't expect you to feel the same 
When I say that I'm not turning back 
I don't expect a yellow brick path 

Everyone's gotta be alone sometimes 
Everyone's gotta be alone sometimes 
You can laugh alone or cry alone or look between the lines 
But everyone's gotta be alone sometimes 

When I learned to stand on my feet 
I saw the trash in the street 
And I knew some of it would be mine and yours 
But that's just one thing you see when you open the doors 
I know you've been here before 

But everyone's gotta be alone sometimes 
Everyone's gotta be alone sometimes 
You can laugh alone or cry alone or look between the lines 
But everyone's gotta be alone sometimes
