Together
Avril Lavigne · Under My Skin
I can feel it inside
The truth isn't far behind me
You can't deny
When I turn the lights out
When I close my eyes
Reality overcomes me
I'm living a lie
(Pre-chorus)
When I'm alone
I feel so much better
And when I'm around you
I don't feel
(Chorus)
Together
It doesn't feel right at all
Together
Together we've built a wall
Together holding hands we'll fall
Hands we'll fall
This has gone on so long
I realize that I need
Something good to rely on
Something for me
(Pre-chorus)
When I'm alone
I feel so much better
And when I'm around you
I don't feel
(Chorus)
Together
It doesn't feel right at all
Together
Together we've built a wall
Together holding hands we'll fall
Hands we'll fall
My heart is broken
I'm lying here
My thoughts are choking
On you, my dear
On you, my dear
On you, my dear
(Pre Chorus)
When I'm alone
I feel so much better
And when I'm around you
I don't feel
(Chorus x2)
When I'm around you
When I'm around you
I don't feel together
I don't feel together
When I'm around you
When I'm around you
I don't feel together
I don't feel together

Together is a standout track from Avril Lavigne's 2004 album Under My Skin, marking a pivotal shift in her musical direction.

The song features a driving rock rhythm and emotional delivery that became hallmarks of her sophomore era. It stands alongside other significant works from the album, such as My Happy Ending and Fall To Pieces, demonstrating Lavigne's ability to blend personal vulnerability with energetic instrumentation. This recording remains a key part of her discography, illustrating her evolution from a teenage sensation into a mature rock artist capable of exploring complex themes within the pop-rock genre.
