Not Alone

Many tears, many tears, many tears I've cried
Many days, many months, many years I've tried
Doing things on my own, what a waste of time
Thinking I was alone almost all my life

And I hide myself under the surface
'Cause I'm scared as hell of showing my scars
But if you let me get bruises on purpose
Then it must've been good for my heart

'Cause you were there, you were there, when I was on my knees and
You were there, you were there, when it was hard to breathe and
You were by my side when I was on the deep end
It's been you here all along
All this time I was not alone

It's been hard to admit, but I've been a liar
I don't believe I deserve all my hearts desires
And I don't know what you see, but I've been inspired
By the way that you pull me out the fire

And I don't understand why I go running
To the things that 'cause me the most pain
I guess I never thought someone could love me
Through the things about me that I hate

But you were there, you were there, when I was on my knees and
You were there, you were there, when it was hard to breathe and
You were by my side when I was on the deep end
It's been you here all along
And after all this time I'm not alone

When I needed a shoulder to cry on, I'm not alone
When I needed somewhere to hide, I'm not alone
When I couldn't find my way out, you would show me where to go
I was not alone

When I was drowning in tears
I was not alone
When I was bound to my fears
I was not alone
But I can see everything clearly now that I know
I was not alone

You were there when I was on my knees and
You were there, you were there, when it was hard to breathe and
You were by my side and all my darkest seasons
It's been you here all along
All this time I was not alone
