  • You're on your own
    In a world you've grown
    Few more years to go
    Don't let the hurdle fall
    So be the girl you loved
    Be the girl you loved

    I'll wait
    So show me why you're strong
    Ignore everybody else
    We're alone now
    I'll wait
    So show me why you're strong
    Ignore everybody else
    We're alone now

    Suddenly, I'm hit
    It's the starkness of the dawn
    And your friends are gone
    And your friends won't come
    So show me where you fit
    So show me where you fit

    I'll wait
    So show me why you're strong
    Ignore everybody else
    We're alone now
    (We're alone now)
    I'll wait (we're alone now)
    (We're alone now)
    (We're alone now)
    I'll wait (we're alone now)
    (We're alone now)
    (We're alone now)
    (We're alone now)
    (We're alone now)

    Suddenly, I'm hit
    It's the starkness of the dawn
    And your friends are gone
    And your friends won't come
    So show me where you fit
    So show me where you fit Writer/s: James Blake Litherland
