[Verse 1]
Wide awake and he shakes in a panic. Never woke up alone ever before
Had a 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 apologizing
Reaches for her till 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] [x3]
I can help myself don't talk to me. [x2]
I can help myself. Myself
[Verse 3]
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 [x4]
I can help myself don't talk to me
Wide awake and he shakes in a panic. Never woke up alone ever before
Had a 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 apologizing
Reaches for her till 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

I can help myself. Myself
[Verse 3]
Wide awake and he shakes in a panic. Never woke up alone ever before

Tries to forget but
He can't [x4]
I can help myself don't talk to me
