I'm Not Alone
Kate Hall Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm not alone
I'm not the only one who knows
You gotta crash and burn to live and learn
With arms open wide, eyes closed
Maybe I fall too fast, maybe I love too much
Maybe I give my heart away, but maybe I shouldn't have
And maybe I try too hard, and maybe I go too far
And maybe I'm heading for the moon, catch a ride on a shooting star
I'm gonna make my mistakes, but it's perfectly OK
I'm not alone
I'm not the only one who knows
You gotta crash and burn to live and learn
With arms open wide, eyes closed
I'm not alone, I'm not alone
You gotta crash and burn to live and learn
With arms open wide, eyes closed
I know I'm not innocent, I know I'm not too bad
I wanna look back and be able to say I'd given all I had
I'm gonna make my mistakes, but it's perfectly OK
I'm not alone
I'm not the only one who knows
You gotta crash and burn to live and learn
With arms open wide, eyes closed
I'm not alone, I'm not alone
You gotta crash and burn to live and learn
With arms open wide, eyes closed
Gonna live my life with my arms open wide
Take a leap of faith as I shut my eyes
I'm not alone, alone
No I'm not alone, alone
I'm not alone
I'm not the only one who knows
You gotta crash and burn to live and learn
With arms open wide, eyes closed
I'm not alone, I'm not alone
You gotta crash and burn to live and learn




With arms open wide, eyes closed
I'm not alone
