Going It Alone Lyrics

Though you've been a rock for me to stand on
Beside me every moment of the fight
Even though you make it so much better
when I go to sleep at night

The fight that I am fighting is my own
and it feels as though I'm going it alone

Now and then my friends take me to dinner
They tell me how they're with me all the way

They lean across the table
and they say they're thinking of me
then they take the bill so I don't have to pay

And they tell me they're so proud of how I've grown
and they say they know I'm going it alone

How can I complain
when I'm surrounded by the kind of love
most people in their wildest dreams would die for

But at night when it's so quiet
there's a battle raging somewhere
and I cannot see the casualties I cry for

Just a microscopic Armageddon
A battlefield of blood
where the dead are whisked away and soon forgotten
and there are no next of kin for me to phone
just the feeling that I'm going it alone

So I send in the Marines in little pills
They attack the foe and fight for my survival
But the enemy can change
rearrange its DNA
and my forces are soon dead upon arrival

With the news of reinforcements overblown
I soon realize I'm going it alone

But is it such a lonely battle
Have I been so wrapped up in myself
What about what you've been through as well?

Do you lie awake and worry
Never falling back to sleep
Are you going through some private kind of hell?

Do you also feel you're out there on your own?
Do you feel as though you're going it alone.

Do you wake at night and worry
Never falling back to sleep

Are you going through some private kind of hell?
I'd have to read your mind to even tell.

Just before I turned to go to sleep
I brush a little hair back from your eye
Suddenly the loneliness I felt just melts away

And I smile because I know the reason why

Can we really say we're out there on our own?
Can we really say we're out there on our own

When together we've been going it alone.
