Go It Alone

It's half an hour past midnight your eyes are open wide
The traffic plays a tune you can't recall
Something you were thinking about seemed to be so important
But now it doesn't mean a thing at all
All the things you held onto so tightly in your hand
Seemed to slip between your fingers as you try
To understand just what it is you're looking for and maybe even why

You go it alone but you're not made of stone
Sleep on the couch in the glow of the tube
No one to hold you tonight
You go it alone
But you're not made of stone
Keep on believing somehow you'll find your way home

Your folks are down in Florida, the kids are moving west
No one ever seems to stick around
The guy who said he loved you is 1,000 miles away
You're just trying to get your feet back on the ground
You go to work each day and work your fingers to the bone
'Till the evening when there's nothing much to do
That's when you turn the TV on to see if someone's there
Who feels the same as you

You go it alone,but you're not made of stone
Sleep on the couch in the glow of the tube
No one to hold you tonight
You go it alone, you're not made of stone
Keep on believing somehow
You'll find your way home

The doctors have another name for everything you feel
They sit across the room and stare you down
They give you pills to make you sleep and pills to wake you up
passing judgment without knowing what they've found
And when it gets too much and you can't take it anymore
You try to break that mortal coil and fly away
But you wake up in emergency
And find it's just another endless day

You go it alone
You're not made of stone
Sleep on the couch in the glow of the tube
No one to hold you tonight
You go it alone
You're not made of stone
Keep on believing, somehow you'll find your way home
You're afraid to stop
To turn around
To look that beast in the eye
So you run away
Burn another bridge
Till there's nothing but ashes inside

You go it alone
But you're not made of stone
You sleep on the couch in the glow of the tube
Keep on believing in somebody new
Tell yourself stories that never come true
No one to hold you tonight
You go alone
You're not made of stone
Keep on believing somehow, you'll find your way home
