You Are Not Alone

Written by Meredith O’Connor and Heather Holley

Inside my mind felt like some cruel experiment

To see how far how dark the thoughts in my head could get

Don’t dare to speak up thinking I was on my own

Every day I’m losing more and more control

No light at the end of the tunnel

Losing the fight every day is a struggle

Why can’t I be stronger, harder, is anybody out there ‘cause I’ve never been so low

I wish I had known

CH

You are not alone

You think you gotta bear it all on your own

You are not alone

Once you break the silence you’re gonna know

You look at me and think I’d never understand but I been where you are to get to what I am

You can build a castle with the stones they throw

Survivors become heroes

You are not alone You are not alone

Keep up the fight; the up hill battle's worth it

Even when you're too scared to open up the curtains

It's one thing to smile through the pain on the surface But to feel it, to face it, that all takes courage

There's no harder fight then the one you're fighting in your mind

Those voices saying there's no hope don't listen to them those are lies

Don't let what others say or think of you define you

You're lucky to be different

So open up and shine

You’re the light at the end of the tunnel

You’re ‘gonna rise up because of the struggle the fight every day is a struggle

Yeah your stronger a fighter so many of us out here baring the same load, I need you to know (I need you to know)

You are not alone

You think you gotta bear it all on your own

But you are not alone

Once you break the silence you’re gonna know

You look at me and think I’d never understand but I been where you are to get to what I am

You can build a castle with the stones they throw

Survivors become heroes

You are not alone

I want you to know..

Bridge

Skin made of armor that’s my home Yeah they comin at me but I never fold Steady throwin stones at my throne Steady throwin stones at my throne

You can try to get me down

But Ima stand

First time fall down stand up again Two times stand up again Three times and every time I’m gone’ rise

You are not alone

You think you gotta bear it all on your own

But you are not alone

Once you break the silence you’re gonna know you look at me and think I’d never understand but I been where you are to get to what I am

You can build a castle with the stones they throw survivors become heroes

You are not alone
