I Stand Alone
Godsmack · Live & Inspired [2012]
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
