You Are Not Alone (International)
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
