Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You're not alone
I'm with you
I'm lonely too
What's that song
Can't be sung by two?
[Verse 2]
A broken home
A broken heart
Isolated and afraid
Open up, this is a raid
I wanna get it through to you
You're not alone
[Verse 3]
You're not alone
Every night
I stand in your place
Every tear
On every face
Tastes the same
[Verse 4]
A broken dream
A broken heart
Isolated and afraid
Open up, this is a raid
I'm gonna get it through to you
You're not alone
[Verse 5]
An open hand
An open heart
There's no need to be afraid
Open up, this is a raid
I wanna get it through to you
You're not alone
[Verse 6]
I wanna get it through to you
You're not alone
I'm gonna get it through to you
You're not alone
