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

Chorus:
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 hit
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

Chorus:
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
We're alone now
We're alone now
I'll wait
We're alone now
We're alone now
We're alone now
We're alone now

Suddenly I'm hit
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

    this song automatically made this man a musical genius in my book
  • HIS VOICE OH MY GOD. when he started singing it bought TEARS. "SUDDENLY I'M HIT."
  • @vegannoodls3168
    he could be talking about drugs and murder and i would still cry because his voice is angelic
  • @dwightshah6208
    I realize after listening to song many times that this song about a woman suffering through depression. And James Blake is her subconscious speaking to her. It's a powerful message for anyone suffering depression for I also suffered with depression and I tell you this; friends do come up missing. With this being said if you are suffering, your savior is inside you, no one outside you can help the answer is within! Please look in your heart.
  • @roshaunblack348
    I can listen to him hum for an hour and not get annoyed or tired of it

    borderlands didn't bring me here, but I just might seek out borderlands because of this song
  • @George.Coleman
    Depression doesn't know it yet, but you have the heart and strength of a ferocious lion. It has chosen the wrong battle
  • Depression will ALWAYS be defeated... This song sounds alike a breakthrough on a trip... ☮️
