Standing By Yourself Lyrics

Don't wanna have to be the person
To inundate you with advice
But sitting here and watching you talk
It's clear to me you're in a bind
You're waiting for the world to help you
Expect a little bit of love
But life is hard and it surrounds you
Sometimes you have to give a shove

Don't be afraid and never forget
Sometimes you're standing by yourself
Standing by yourself
It's hard to admit, and it's hard to accept
Sometimes you're standing by yourself
Standing by yourself

You're told that it'll always work out
There's lightness in the great unknown
And if you're up again oppression
You'll never have to walk alone
But sometimes when you least expect it
The walls will come down on your head
You gotta try and get beyond it
Forget about the things you've read
