[Verse 1]
I've been thinking about the times
You walked out on me
There were moments I'd believe, you were there
Do I miss you, or am I lying to my self again

[Verse 2]
I do these things
(It's all because of you)
I keep holding on, but I'll try
(try not to think of you)
Love don't leave me lonely
I'll be alright without you

[Bridge]
There'll be someone else...I keep telling myself
I'll be alright without you
Oh...love's an empty face, I can't replace
(you don't need it)

[Verse 3]
People wondering why we broke apart
The great pretender here I go again
These things I do
(It's all because of you)

[Verse 4]
I'll keep holding but I'll try
(try not to think of you)
All I wanted was to hold you
I'll be alright without you
There'll be someone else, I keep telling myself

[Verse 5]
I'll be alright without you
Love's an empty face...Oh I've got to replace
I'll be alright without you
There'll be someone else, I keep telling myself

[Outro]
I'll be alright without you
Oh...love's an empty place, I can still see your face
I'll be alright

Journey is an American rock band that formed in San Francisco in 1973, composed of former members of Santana and Frumious Bandersnatch. The band has gone through several phases; its strongest commercial success occurred while fronted by vocalist Steve Perry, from 1978 until the group’s disbandment in 1987. During that period, the band released a series of hit songs, including 1981’s “Don’t Stop Believin'”, which in 2009 became the top-selling track in iTunes history amongst songs not released in the 21st century. Its parent studio album, Escape, the band’s eighth and most successful, reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and yielded another of their most popular singles, “Open Arms”. Its 1983 follow-up album, Frontiers, was almost as successful in the United States, reaching No. 2 and spawning several successful singles; it broadened the band’s appeal in the United Kingdom, where it reached No. 6 on the UK Albums Chart. Journey enjoyed a successful reunion with Perry in the mid-1990s and later regrouped with a series of lead singers.
