Not Alone
Home Grown Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Just say goodbye, and close the door
Turn off the lights and pick up the pieces
If you need them
This world is cold, but just know you're not alone

I know what you're thinkin'
I know how you're feelin'
Believe me, you're not alone
I know what you're thinkin'
I know how you're feelin'
Believe me, you're not alone

I've been there before
Just where you are
And not quite so sure that I've done the right thing
Believe me
And this world is cold, so I'll make sure you're not alone

I know what you're thinkin'
I know how you're feelin'
Believe me, you're not alone
I know what you're thinkin'
I know how you're feelin'
Believe me, you're not alone

Why can't you stay with me tonight?
Cuz I know everything is not alright
Why can't you stay with me tonight?
Cuz I know everything is not alright
And it's not alright

I know what you're thinkin'
I know how you're feelin'
Belive me, you're not alone
I know what you're thinkin'




I know how you're feelin'
Believe me, you're not alone
