Starin' out the window like I'm waiting for a change

As if I'd stare long enough, I'd see it when it came

I used the book of numbers by the silent telephone

I called up everyone I found, but didn't talk to no one



And the rain comes down as if it's trying to wash me away

And there ain't no romantic movin' lines, like they say



Chorus:

Standing alone, like I got nowhere to go

Standing alone, like the day that I was born

Out on my own, I believe this boy has grown, standing alone



Ain't no way to take a blow when every cheek's been turned

I can't show another side when every side's been burned

I'm helpless, can't fight a raging heart

And I got no use for bein' torn apart



And the world don't seem to have no use for me

'Cos you've given nothing, and nothing isn't free



chorus



You can't keep it all inside, I need someone else to stand with me by my side

Give me something to fight, something to hold on to

I just don't wanna be standing alone



(Solo)



And the rain comes down as if it's trying to wash me away

And there ain't no romantic movin' lines, like they say



chorus repeats 2x
