We were young,
posters on the wall
Praying we're the ones
that the teacher
wouldn't call
We would stare at
each other
'Cause we were always
in trouble
And all the cool kids
did their own thing
I was on the outside
always looking in
Yeah, I was there
but I wasn't
They never really cared
if I wasn't
We all need that someone
who gets you like
no one else
Right when you need
it the most
We all need a soul
to rely on, a shoulder
to cry on
A friend through the
highs and the lows
I'm not gonna make it
a-la, la la la la la,
la, la-la-la-la-la, 'lone
I'm not gonna make it
a-la, la-la-la-la-la,
la, la-la-la-la-la, 'lone
Then I saw your face,
your forgiving eyes
Looking back at me
from the other side
Like you understood me
And I'm never letting
you go,
oh
We all need that someone
who gets you like
no one else
Right when you need
it the most
All need a soul to rely on,
a shoulder to cry on
A friend through the highs
and the lows
I'm not gonna make it
a-la, la-la-la-la-la,
la, la-la-la-la-la, 'lone
I'm not gonna make it
a-la, la-la-la-la-la,
la, la-la-la-la-la, 'lone
I'm not gonna make it
a-la, la-la-la-la-la,
la, la-la-la-la-la, 'lone
I'm not gonna make it
a-la, la-la-la-la-la,
la, la-la-la-la-la, 'lone
I'm not gonna make
it alone
(La, la-la-la-la-la, 'lone)
I'm not gonna make it
a-la, la-la-la-la-la,
la, la-la-la-la-la, 'lone
'Cause you are that
someone that gets me
like no one else
Right when I need
it the most
And I'll be the one you
rely on, a shoulder
to cry on
A friend through the highs
and the lows
I'm not gonna make it
a-la, la-la-la-la-la,
la, la-la-la-la-la, 'lone
I'm not gonna make it
a-la, la-la-la-la-la,
la, la-la-la-la-la, 'lone
I'm not gonna make it
a-la, la-la-la-la-la,
la, la-la-la-la-la, 'lone
I'm not gonna make it
a-la, la-la-la-la-la,
la, la-la-la-la-la, 'lone
I'm not gonna make
it alone
