I Wasn't Meant to Live My Life Alone

Tammy Wynette · Tears of Fire: The 25th Anniversary Collection [Epic] [1992]

Tammy Wynette & Vince Gill

(Paul Overstreet)



All the times I've fallin' victim to my pride

Patiently, you have waited by my side

My guiding light through my darkest night

You're the one thing I do right.



No, I wasn't meant to live my life alone

The load is just too heavy

And the road is just too long

When I try to do it all myself

It always turns out wrong

No, I wasn't meant to live my life alone.



But I've tried

A million times to take control

But I find

I always dig myself a hole

And there I stand with a broken plan

Reachin' for your hand.



'Cause I wasn't meant to live my life alone

The load is just too heavy

And the road is just too long

When I try to do it all myself

I find I'm not that strong.



No, I wasn't meant to live my life

I wasn't meant to live my life

I wasn't meant to live my life alone...
