[Verse 1]

Wide awake and he shakes in a panic

Never woke up alone ever before

Had his woman long as he can remember

Tries to forget but he can't, he can't

Out of bed and he dreams in the shower

She's standing naked and apologizin'

Reaches for her 'til his mind becomes blood hot

Woken up to be burned, burned again

[Chorus]

Go it alone

You got it so it goes

Gonna breathe and I said

"I can't take it any other way"

[Verse 2]

On the streets he's walking wounded

Doesn't smile for the child at play

Thoughts of suicide and alleviation

Anything to get his heart off of the coals

Does he fly away or just talk about it?

Like a seagull born to cry in the wind

Own experiences lead to a younger

All alone you will meet the one who lies in wait

[Chorus]

Go it alone

You got it so it goes

Try to breathe while you can

You can't take it any other way, yeah, yeah

[Bridge]

I can help myself, don't talk to me

I can help myself, don't talk to me

I can help myself, don't talk to me

I can help myself, myself

I can help myself, don't talk to me

I can help myself, don't talk to me

I can help myself, don't talk to me

I can help myself, myself

I can help myself, don't talk to me

I can help myself, don't talk to me

I can help myself, don't talk to me

I can help myself, myself

[Outro]

Wide awake and he shakes in a panic

Never woke up alone ever before

Had his woman long as he can remember

Tries to forget but

He can't, he can't, he can't, he can't

I can help myself don't talk to me
