Cannot Do This Alone

I fell in love with the crooked truth

One that I felt like I had to prove

Like I could handle the pressure, on my own

Except I never do

But I put on a fancy show

When I’m caught in the undertow

To hide when it’s showing, this pride that I’m holding

I can’t let it go

Even though

I cannot do this alone

I cannot do this alone

I still remember what my mother said

When I was younger, I won’t forget

She said to my and brother

Said, “Look out for each other”

And we always did

Well later on then I met a girl

The true companion I found in her

I never wanted another

So I tell her I love her

And I always will

She needs to know that

I cannot do this alone

I cannot do this alone

I can't handle it anymore

I cannot do this alone

I need somebody who knows my name

To shine a light on the darker days

Don’t ever let me go

Don’t ever let me go

Brother, don’t let me forget the truth

But then come after me if I do

Don’t let me walk away

No

I cannot do this alone

I cannot do this alone

I cannot handle it anymore

I cannot do this alone

Oh, alone
