I knew a girl who never really had enough
Self-preserved and always acting tough
She lived alone behind her wall of pain
A darkened place where she'd been locked away
Now time had passed and little had ever changed
The truth be told she based her life on shame
She never knew quite where she was 'sposed to turn
In search of love that she had never known
And every day how she would fight it
Just to see it through
In a world forgotten
I would hear her say "I do it alone"
She found her days all wrapped up in pain and fear
Dreams of love had long ago disappeared
She looked around for what she had thought she lost
To only find that it was never there
And every day how she would fight it
Just to see it through
In a world forgotten
I would hear her say "I do it alone"
On my own for now and today
I'll find my own way for this is my home
For all I have known this is who I am, I do it alone
And then one day, she became the one who fell
And found the love she'd hidden from herself
Buried deep she had nowhere left to hide
Her happiness had been there all the time
And every day how she would fight it
Just to see it through
In a world remembered
She forgot the words "I do it alone"
On my own for now and today
I'll find my own way for this is my home
For all i have known this is who I am, I do it alone
