Stand Alone (16:9)

[Verse 1] I wake up to a room that don’t answer Cold cup, cracked floor, same old answer Hands full of names I should let go Still chasing a hand that won’t hold They ask for a smile like it costs me nothing They want my best while they give me nothing I learned real quick what the silence means Love don’t live where the judge keeps seats [Pre-Chorus] I been bending, bending Till I almost break I been reaching, reaching For a ghost that fades [Chorus] I stand alone I stand alone No crown, no throne I stand alone They want more, more Than a heart can give I let it go So I can live [Verse 2] Too many eyes, but nobody sees me Too many hands, but nobody frees me They love the shape of me, not my soul Love the mask, then they want control I carried their weight in my ribs and my back Gave them my gold, got a stone in a sack Now I watch that road where the old me ran Turn my face to the sun, become my own man [Pre-Chorus] I been bending, bending Till I almost break I been reaching, reaching For a ghost that fades [Chorus] I stand alone I stand alone No crown, no throne I stand alone They want more, more Than a heart can give I let it go So I can live [Bridge] If I can’t be enough in their hungry frame I won’t wear their fear like it’s my name I’ll keep my values like a match in rain Small light burning through the pain [Final Chorus] I stand alone I stand alone No crown, no throne I stand alone They want more, more Than a heart can give I let it go So I can live I stand alone But I’m not lost I chose my soul At any cost
