Alone

from City Garden by Jess Klein

lyrics

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 got to be alone sometimes
Everyone's got to be alone sometimes.
You can walk alone or cry alone
Or look between the lines
But everyone's got to 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 got to be alone sometimes
Everyone's got to be alone sometimes.
You can walk alone or cry alone
Or look between the lines
But everyone's got to 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 got to be alone sometimes
Everyone's got to be alone sometimes.
You can walk alone or cry alone
Or look between the lines
But everyone's got to be alone sometimes.
