Lyrics

Stand Alone
Written by: JL Baker

Day nine
I took your picture off the wall
it's been hanging here for way too long
I've been hoping that you'll come around

The preacher's preachin' but I ain't hearin'
the choir's singing about believin' and i'm
trying all that I know
to not let go

(Pre-chorus)
I'm holding onto these memories
like the edge of a cliff
but i'm slipping slowly

(Chorus)
Somebody save me from myself
from this life, from the many times
i've fallen in your eyes
somebody help me up to find my center now
to carry this burden on my own
so I can stand alone

Day fourty-five
I packed the last box in the corner
turned to knob down on the heater
and I said my last goodbyes

When you left you had your reasons
and it took some time to see them
but now I've got some of my own
I just thought you'd like to know

(Pre-Chorus)
And I can't seem to contemplate
just why I call it our home
and you just call it a mistake

(Chorus)
Somebody save me from myself
from this life, from the many times
i've fallen in your eyes
somebody help me up to find my center now
to carry this burden on my own
so I can stand alone

And when the years have past and all the memories fade
and wash away
there'll still be a place in my heart
where you took my breath away
you can't take that away

(Repeat Chorus)
