lyrics
Pick me up and scoop out all the stuff I wish I didn't even have
I must admit, I didn't think I'd make it out of this alive
I guess I'm glad
And I'm trying not to drink so I don't have to think
About the things I don't tell Dad
But I gotta go, I've gotta get back
Seemingly I've got a lot of people I can talk to but I don't know how
I sing a lullaby to help you go to sleep and then I fall and hit the ground
I need the little lights, they're hanging from the blinds
The batteries are running out
And the silhouette against the wall shouts
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
Pick me up and wipe out all the stuff I wish I'd never even said
I'm sick to death of hearing voices that I've never known before inside my head
And the sentence that I thought I'd left behind is coming back
I think I'm better dead
Cos' the silhouette against the wall said so
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
Will you stay?
Will you love me if I'm not the same?
Every day
I'm forgetting what I shouldn't say
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
