[00:26.50]Wide awake and he shakes in a panic
[00:30.50]Never woke up alone ever before
[00:33.50]Had his woman long as he can remember
[00:36.50]Tries to forget, but he can't, he can't...
[00:39.50]Out of bed and he dreams in the shower
[00:42.50]She's standing naked and apologizing
[00:45.50]Reaches for her `till his mind becomes blood hot
[00:49.50]Woken up to be burned, burned, again...
[00:54.50]Go it alone
[00:57.50]You got it, so it goes
[01:01.50]I wanna breathe and I said
[01:02.50]I can't take it any other way
[01:06.50]On the streets he's walkin', wounded
[01:09.50]Doesn't smile for the child at play
[01:12.50]Thoughts of suicide and alleviation
[01:15.50]Anything to get his heart off of the coals
[01:19.50]Does he fly away or just talk about it
[01:22.50]Like a seagull born to cry in the wind
[01:25.50]All experiences lead to a young girl
[01:28.50]Alone you will meet the one who lies in wait
[01:33.50]Go it alone
[01:36.50]You got it, so it goes
[01:40.50]Try to breathe, but you can't
[01:42.50]You can't take it any other way, yeah, yeah...
[01:48.50]...Myself, don't talk to me
[01:51.50]I can help myself, don't talk to me
[01:54.50]I can help myself, myself
[01:57.50]I can help myself, don't talk to me
[02:00.50]I can help myself, don't talk to me
[02:03.50]I can help myself, don't talk to me
[02:07.50]I can help myself, myself...
[02:31.50]...Myself, don't talk to me
[02:33.50]I can help myself
[03:05.50]Wide awake and he shakes in a panic
[03:08.50]Never woke up alone ever before
[03:11.50]Had his woman long as he can remember
[03:14.50]Tries to forget, but he can't, he can't, he can't, he can't...
