Lyrics
You’re on your own, in a world you’ve grown Few more years to go, Don’t let the hurdle fall So be the girl you loved, Be the girl you loved
I’ll wait, so show me why you’re strong Ignore everybody else, We’re alone now I’ll wait, so show me why you’re strong Ignore everybody else, We’re alone now
Suddenly I’m hip Is this darkness of the dawn And your friends are gone When you friends won’t come So show me where you fit So show me where you fit
I’ll wait, so show me why you’re strong Ignore everybody else, We’re alone now We’re alone now We’re alone now I’ll wait
Suddenly I’m hip Is this darkness of the dawn And your friends are gone When you friends won’t come So show me where you fit So show me where you fit
