I fell in love with the crooked truth
One that I felt like I had to prove
Like I could handle the pressure, on my own
Except I never do
But I put on a fancy show
When I'm caught in the undertow
To hide when it's showing, this pride that I'm holding
I can't let it go

Even though
I cannot do this alone
I cannot do this alone

I still remember what my mother said
When I was younger, I won't forget
She sat down me and my brother
Said, "Look out for each other"
And we always did

Well later on then I met a girl
The true companion I found in her
I never wanted another
So I tell her I love her
And I always will

She needs to know that
I cannot do this alone
I cannot do this alone
I can't handle it anymore
I cannot do this alone

I need somebody who knows my name
To shine a light on the darker days
Don't ever let me go
Don't ever let me go
Brother, don't let me forget the truth
But then come after me if I do
Don't let me walk away

No
I cannot do this alone
I cannot do this alone
I can't handle it anymore
I cannot do this alone
Oh, alone
