Cannot Do This Alone

I fell in love with the crooked truth One that I felt like I had to prove Like I could handle the pressure, on my own Except I never do But I put on a fancy show When I’m caught in the undertow To hide when it’s showing, this pride that I’m holding I can’t let it go Even though I cannot do this alone I cannot do this alone I still remember what my mother said When I was younger, I won’t forget She said to my and brother Said, “Look out for each other” And we always did Well later on then I met a girl The true companion I found in her I never wanted another So I tell her I love her And I always will She needs to know that I cannot do this alone I cannot do this alone I can't handle it anymore I cannot do this alone I need somebody who knows my name To shine a light on the darker days Don’t ever let me go Don’t ever let me go Brother, don’t let me forget the truth But then come after me if I do Don’t let me walk away No I cannot do this alone I cannot do this alone I cannot [?] anymore I cannot do this alone Oh, alone
