You’re Not Alone
Lacey Sturm Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's been hard for me to breathe for such a long time
Only escaped so I could hold you in to ease your mind
I can't hold you anymore tonight
And I feel your heart is breaking as I let go
And it hurts me to believe in but you must know
I can't hold you anymore tonight

When no one else can save you
Remember

You're not alone
Beyond the universe
Echoes out a promise to us
Where the darkness meets the day
You're not alone
Close as the two of us
Stronger than the pain runs through us
You can hear the angels sing
That you're not alone
You're not alone

When the memories come to haunt you with the sad lie
No one loves you, they all leave you! So why even try?
Let truth hold you in loving arms tonight
When you feel that you're the only one you can trust
And it proves a lie when you're the one you self-destruct
Let truth hold you in loving arms tonight

When no one else can save you
Remember

You're not alone
Beyond the universe
Echoes out a promise to us
Where the darkness meets the day
You're not alone
Close as the two of us
Stronger than the pain runs through us
You can feel it when you pray
That you're not alone
You're not alone

Love will never leave
Truth will not forsake
Eternal thoughts will keep your heart safe
Love will never leave
Truth will not forsake
Eternal thoughts will keep your heart safe
Close as the two of us
Stronger than the pain runs through us

You can hear the angels sing
That you're not alone

Beyond the universe
Echoes of a promise to us
Where the darkness meets the day





You're not alone
You're not alone

Overall Meaning

In "You're Not Alone," Lacey Sturm sings about the pain of being separated from someone she loves and the fear and doubt that come with uncharted waters. The opening verse sets the scene, painting a picture of someone who has been struggling for a long time to breathe and to bear the weight of the world on their shoulders. The emotions are intense, and the singer has great empathy and understanding for this person, as she knows first hand what it's like to feel like you're drowning. However, despite her love for the person, the singer has to let go, recognizing that she can't keep holding onto them anymore. She urges the person to take comfort in the fact that they're not alone.


The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "You're not alone" and expands on the idea. The lyrics talk about a promise beyond the universe and the feeling of being close to the one you love, even if they're not physically present. The song offers hope and reassurance that there is someone out there who understands what you're going through, and there is light at the end of the tunnel. The bridge of the song features a powerful statement that love will never leave and truth will not forsake, suggesting that, no matter how alone we may feel, there is always someone who loves and will protect us.


Line by Line Meaning

It's been hard for me to breathe for such a long time
I've been struggling with something that's been weighing heavily on me for a while now


Only escaped so I could hold you in to ease your mind
I've only been able to find relief from my own struggles by helping you in your own times of need


I can't hold you anymore tonight
Unfortunately, I'm not able to be there for you in this moment


And I feel your heart is breaking as I let go
I know that you're hurting and it's hard for me to let go, too


And it hurts me to believe in but you must know
I don't want to believe it, but it's important for you to know


When no one else can save you
In those moments when nobody else can help you


Remember
Keep this in mind


You're not alone
You have people who care about you and want to be there for you


Beyond the universe
In a way that transcends our earthly existence


Echoes out a promise to us
There's a promise being made to us that's being echoed across the universe


Where the darkness meets the day
In those moments when things seem their darkest


Close as the two of us
As close as we are to each other


Stronger than the pain runs through us
Our love is stronger than the pain we're experiencing


You can hear the angels sing
The presence of something greater than ourselves can be felt in this moment


When the memories come to haunt you with the sad lie
When old memories start to torment you with the false belief that nobody loves you


No one loves you, they all leave you! So why even try?
You might feel like nobody cares about you and it's futile to make an effort


Let truth hold you in loving arms tonight
Don't let these negative thoughts take over, embrace the truth and let love in


When you feel that you're the only one you can trust
When it feels like you can only rely on yourself


And it proves a lie when you're the one you self-destruct
But that belief will just lead to self-destructive behavior


Love will never leave
Love is always there for you, it won't desert you


Truth will not forsake
The truth is that you have people who will not abandon you


Eternal thoughts will keep your heart safe
Remember that these positive thoughts and beliefs will keep you safe


You can feel it when you pray
You can sense the presence of something greater and connect with it through prayer

It’s been hard for me to breathe for such a long time

And it hurts me to believe in but you must know
I can’t hold you anymore tonight

When no one else can save you
Remember: You're not alone

Echoes out a promise to us
Where the darkness meets the day
You’re not alone

"The Truth holds you in loving arms tonight." Woah.

@rsantiagoart2284

The chorus in this song means so much to me. I read the Bible 3x. It took me four years to do it. The chorus is deep. This is my new favorite song! Go Lacey! Signed - Sincerely your Fan! - Atlanta, Georgia - USA.

@IamMsUnique

I remember reading her blog one day and there was a story about one of her sons going to the hospital and there wasn't much she could do and how he wanted the comfort of his mom and I think that's what this song is about. If it is it isn't I love that she puts her everything into her music. You're amazing Lacey!

@adamhemgesberg1572

She talked about this recently. Its inspired by one of he family members who refused to pass until she told everyone goodbye, they even flatlined several times but kept coming back.

@IamMsUnique

@@adamhemgesberg1572 thank you for letting me know!💖

@buffaloben15golf88

Explains the bpm reader sound at the beginning

@marko-li7rt

I went thru the same exact thing. In hospital hoping my mom or dad would love me enough to show up and the docs saying no one is coming and my husband was truck driving and he wouldn't come and they ended sending me to bmed and that's when the nightmare started

@aliceraven6444

I've been having a bad time my emotions and feeling overwhelmed with my life lately. I've been feeling like everything has been my fault and letting the people I care about that's around me down of the bad things that had happened to me. today I was looking at some of my old music that I've saved and I listened to one that was when Lacey was in Flyleaf. I looked up Lacey's new music. After listening to one song it felt like all that worried and scared about was lifted from my chest. Like God lifted them from me and has given me the strength that I needed to fight though my battle. Thank you God, and Lacey for the songs that you give us. And to everyone I hope you are having a good day.

@AgileFan0
