Not Alone
The Draytones Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Looks like you're going away
You've waited around too long to stay
You seem to know the score
Don't you know I knew it all
Before the day you came into my life
When he took away your dreams
And stole your mind

You're not alone
Not alone, Not alone

Your insecurity
Always gets the better of you
You're confused about what to do
You even start to realise
The question why you're even
Here at all
You've had to learn to hear the pain
Since you were born

You're not alone
Not alone, Not alone, Not alone

I will wait for you from now on
You can look for me when you are
Lost and find it hard to sleep at night
I will listen to your words
and kiss your eyes

You're not alone
Not alone, Not alone, Not alone

Line by Line Meaning

Looks like you're going away
It appears that you're leaving

You've waited around too long to stay
You've been hanging on for too long

You seem to know the score
You appear to understand what's happening

Don't you know I knew it all
I already knew what was going to happen

Before the day you came into my life
Prior to the moment you entered my life

When he took away your dreams
When he stole your aspirations

And stole your mind
And took away your ability to think

You're not alone
You have someone who cares for you

Your insecurity
Your lack of confidence

Always gets the better of you
Always overpowers you
