[Intro]
Thank you guys so much
I think uh, I don't, I don't really know how to explain this
I guess it's actually pretty simple, but
Um, when I'm onstage, and I'm performing, uh
A lot of the time, this is a very intimidating thing to do
As you could imagine, um, but
You guys are always so incredible every single time I perform
Singing your hearts out, and
As a performer
And more than that, as a person, that means the world to me
And it helps me, and I love it, and thank you so much for that
So yeah, I just wanna say that

[Refrain]
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh

[Verse 1]
I promise that one day I'll be around
I'll keep you safe, I'll keep you sound
Right now it's pretty crazy
And I don't know how to stop or slow it down

[Pre-Chorus]
Hey, I know there are some things we need to talk about
But I can't stay, so let me hold you for a little longer now

[Chorus]
Take a piece of my heart and make it all your own
So when we are apart, you'll never be alone
You'll never be alone

[Refrain]
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh

[Verse 2]
You'll never be alone
When you miss me close your eyes
I may be far, but never gone
When you fall asleep tonight, just remember that we lay under the same stars

[Pre-Chorus]
Hey, I know there are some things we need to talk about
But I can't stay, so let me hold you for a little longer now

[Chorus]
And take a piece of my heart and make it all your own
So when we are apart, you'll never be alone
You'll never be alone

[Bridge]
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
You'll never be alone
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh

[Chorus]
Take a piece of my heart and make it all your own
So when we are apart, you'll never be alone
You'll never be alone
