When I was younger I thought;
I'd be stronger now
Thought the fires would burn
Up all my doubts
I thought they'd consume, leaving me behind
I thought troubles I face;
Would seem small by now
Like little speed bumps;
I'd just step around
But every fire we douse, another one lights
I think I just might
Have to go there alone
go there alone
Have to go there alone
yeah go there alone
I've heard of sands;
that can rip your skin
Things make you bleed;
Never bow to them
God knows they'll burn
ooh oh, just keep pushin' ahead
When I was younger I though;
I should never flinch
I thought take it with grace;
Meant keep bruises hid
But every bone I broke,
I got more scarred
But then they grew hard
Ooh you'll burn, bleed, cut your skin to the bones
Ooh you'll burn, bleed, cut your skin to the bones
Ooh you'll burn, bleed, cut your skin to the bones
Then you'll know
I've gotta go there alone
go there alone
I've gotta there alone
yeah go there alone
