I Stand Alone

Godsmack · Live & Inspired [2012]

I've told you this once before

Can't control me

If you try to take me down

You're gonna break

I feel your every "nothing" that you're doing for me

I'm thinking you ought to make your own way



I stand alone

Inside

I stand alone



You're always hiding behind your so-called goddess

So what

You don't think that we can see your face

Been resurrected back before the final falling

And I'll never rest until I can make my own way

(I'm not afraid of fading)



I stand alone

Feeling your sting down inside me

I'm not dying for it

I stand alone

Everything that I believe is fading

I stand alone

Inside

I stand alone



And now it's my time

(Now it's my time)

It's my time to dream

(It's my time to dream)

Dream of the skies

(Dream of the skies)

Make me believe that this place isn't plagued by the poison in me

Help me decide if my fire will burn out before you can breathe

Breathe into me



I stand alone

Inside

I stand alone

Feeling your sting down inside me

I'm not dying for it

I stand alone

Everything that I believe is fading

I stand alone

Inside

I stand alone

Inside

I stand alone

Inside

I stand alone

Inside
