I finally got my feet wet
Can I commit to this risin' sea?
Or am I comin' home?
I feel like I got a freight train
Buried down on me
But I'm somehow holdin' on
I lay awake at night
And dream of things that they can't see
Well, I try to reconcile all the plans they've made for me
Yeah, they tell me, "realize my freedom while I'm on my own"
But there's nothin' free about
Bein' alone
I have tried temptation
Someone to have and to hold
I've tried medication
To fill the void in my soul
I've tried contemplation
I thought I could think myself whole
But there's nothin' free about
Bein' alone
Most folks can change their philosophy
To get a leg up in the game
Me, I'm just stuck here with what I believe
And it ain't got no fancy name
I don't trust myself with life's beautiful things
My stone hands and heart can break whatever it brings
And they tell me, "realize my freedom while I'm on my own"
But there's nothin' free about
Bein' alone
I have tried temptation
Someone to have and to hold
I've tried medication
To fill the void in my soul
I've tried contemplation
I thought I could think myself whole
But there's nothin' free about
Bein' alone
I have tried temptation
Someone to have and to hold
I've tried medication
To fill the void in my soul
I've tried contemplation
I thought I could think myself whole
But there's nothin' free about
No, there's nothin' free about
Oh, there's nothin' free about
Bein' alone
