Lyrics

[Verse 1]

There was a time I was one of a kind

Lost in the world, doubting me, myself, and I

Was lonely then

Like an alien

I tried, but I never figured it out

Why I always felt like a stranger in a crowd

Oh, that was then

Like an alien

[PreChorus]

But the stars in the sky

Look like home, take me home

And the light in your eyes

Let's me know I'm not alone

[Chorus]

Not alone, not alone, not alone

Not alone, not alone, not alone

Not alone, not alone, not alone

Not alone, not alone, not alone

[Verse 2]

Crossed through the universe to get where you are

Travel the night, riding on a shooting star

Was lonely then

Like an alien

Had to get used to the world I was on

While yet still unsure if I knew where I belong

Oh, that was then

Like an alien

[PreChorus]

But the stars in the sky

Look like home, take me home

And the light in your eyes

Let's me know I'm not alone

[Chorus]

Not alone, not alone, not alone

Not alone, not alone, not alone

Not alone, not alone, not alone

Not alone, not alone, not alone

[PreChorus]

But the stars in the sky

Look like home, take me home

And the light in your eyes

Let's me know I'm not alone

[Chorus]

Not alone, not alone, not alone

Not alone, not alone, not alone

Not alone, not alone, not alone

Not alone, not alone, not alone

[Chorus]

Not alone, not alone, not alone

Not alone, not alone, not alone

Not alone, not alone, not alone

Not alone, not alone, not alone
