Standing By Yourself

Don't wanna have to be the person

To inundate you with advice

But sitting here and watching you talk

It's clear to me you're in a bind

You're waiting for the world to help you

Expect a little bit of love

But life is hard and it surrounds you

Sometimes you have to give a shove

Don't be afraid and never forget

Sometimes you're standing by yourself

Standing by yourself

It's hard to admit, and it's hard to accept

Sometimes you're standing by yourself

Standing by yourself

You're told that it'll always work out

There's lightness in the great unknown

And if you're up again oppression

You'll never have to walk alone

But sometimes when you least expect it

The walls will come down on your head

You gotta try and get beyond it

Forget about the things you've read.
