[Verse 1]
Millie tried to talk the pleasure back into being alive
Reminiscing 'bout the apricots and blunts on Peckham Rye
Won't call her friends 'cause she's ashamed of being locked into bed
Can't feel her legs and feeling like a liar at best
[Chorus]
You're not alone like you think you are
You're not alone like you think you are
We all have scars, I know it's hard
You're not alone, you're not alone
You're not alone like you think you are
You're not alone like you think you are
We all have scars, I know it's hard
You're not alone, you're not alone
[Post-Chorus]
You're not alone, you're not alone
[Verse 2]
Started sweating bullets when her dad asked, "How d'you really feel?"
She said, "I've been feeling like something inside me wants to scream
Won't call my friends, I'm persuaded that they'll leave in the end
Can't feel my legs, I'm feeling like a liar at best"
[Chorus]
You're not alone like you think you are
You're not alone like you think you are
We all have scars, I know it's hard
You're not alone, you're not alone
You're not alone like you think you are
You're not alone like you think you are
We all have scars, I know it's hard
You're not alone, you're not alone
[Spoken Bridge]
We have been so quietly strong for so long
Watch the white of the walls, you stare at the phone
On Zoom or on calls, although we're apart, although we felt small
We burn bright with light, we've learnt how to talk
We've all fought to bloom together and tall
There's dark in the world, but love makes us grow
You know that I know and you're not alone
[Chorus]
You're not alone like you think you are
You're not alone like you think you are
We all have scars, I know it's hard
You're not alone, you're not alone
You're not alone like you think you are
You're not alone like you think you are
We all have scars, we've come this far
Hold on to hope, we're not alone
