  • Are you lonely, I noticed she is never on your arm
    You found me, last where you lay on the torment
    You told me the walls are closing in on you but boy, tread softly
    Wanted to be free, don't mean you are
    Cause you're on different sides, and you and me we're right in the middle
    You're trying to speed up time and breaking all the rules
    Weren't satisfied, you want to get away
    You want to break a heart, I won't commit the crime

    If you're trying to leave your girl for me
    Gotta do it alone, you've gotta do it all on your own
    'Cause I won't let you use me to break free
    Gotta do it alone, you've gotta do it all on your own
    Because I'm not gonna be your alibi or your excuses, excuses
    And I won't take cover of the blame for your lies
    Do it alone, you gotta do it all on your own

    I like you, I feel it too
    If I surrender, but I can't do
    It's so true that once you play, it's hard to quit the game
    Cause if you win, who will
    Cause you're on different sides, and you and me we're right in the middle
    You're trying to speed up time and breaking all the rules
    Weren't satisfied, you want to get away
    You want to break a heart, I won't commit the crime

    If you're trying to leave your girl for me
    Gotta do it alone, you've gotta do it all on your own
    'Cause I won't let you use me to break free
    Gotta do it alone, you've gotta do it all on your own
    Because I'm not gonna be your alibi or your excuses, excuses
    And I won't take cover of the blame for your lies
    Do it alone, you gotta do it all on your own

    If you're tearing her apart, won't help you
    When you're trying to start a war, won't help you
    When I'm close to somebody new, I won't help you
    Be accessory to this honesty

    If you're trying to leave your girl for me
    Gotta do it alone, you've gotta do it all on your own
    'Cause I won't let you use me to break free
    Gotta do it alone, you've gotta do it all on your own
    Because I'm not gonna be your alibi or your excuses, excuses
    And I won't take cover of the blame for your lies
    Do it alone, you gotta do it all on your own Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
