When I say that he left me, I know
It's not that clear who rowed
When I say that I'm lonely, I know
It's not their fault
Life isn't always a ball

Everyone's gotta be alone sometimes
Everyone's gotta be alone sometimes
You can laugh alone or cry alone or look between the lines
But everyone's gotta be alone sometimes

When I say that my scars are my strengths
I don't expect you to feel the same
When I say that I'm not turning back
I don't expect a yellow brick path

Everyone's gotta be alone sometimes
Everyone's gotta be alone sometimes
You can laugh alone or cry alone or look between the lines
But everyone's gotta be alone sometimes

When I learned to stand on my feet
I saw the trash in the street
And I knew some of it would be mine and yours
But that's just one thing you see when you open the doors
I know you've been here before

But everyone's gotta be alone sometimes
Everyone's gotta be alone sometimes
You can laugh alone or cry alone or look between the lines
But everyone's gotta be alone sometimes
