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.
