I been carryin’ it quiet
Like it’s mine to defend
Like if I don’t hold the line
Then it all might bend

Built my backbone rigid
Kept my shoulders square
But strength without connection
Start to feel unfair

Every time I almost said it
I swallowed it instead
Turned confession into silence
Let it echo in my head

But maybe I don’t have to
Be the only one who stands
Maybe strength is different
When it opens up its hands

I’m not alone in this
I don’t have to fight it solo
Not alone in this
I can let somebody know

Not alone in this
I can lay the armor down
Not alone in this
Still strong without the crown

I’m not alone in this

Used to think that askin’ help
Was a fracture in design
Like dependence meant
The weakness was mine

But the weight I’ve been liftin’
Don’t get lighter with pride
And the walls I been buildin’
Keep the wrong things inside

If I say it out loud
Does it make me less?
Or does it make it easier
To breathe inside my chest?

I don’t have to prove it
Every second of the day
I don’t have to carry
Every single thing alone

I’m not alone in this
I don’t have to hold composure
Not alone in this
I can lean instead of soldier

Not alone in this
I can loosen up my grip
Not alone in this
And still not let it slip

I’m not alone in this

If I trust the ground beneath
It don’t vanish when I fall
If I trust somebody else
I don’t disappear at all

Maybe sharing the weight
Don’t subtract from who I am
Maybe opening the door
Is the bravest thing I can

I’m not alone in this
I can let the silence break
Not alone in this
I don’t have to be awake

Not alone in this
I can ask and still persist
Not alone in this
And that changes everything

I’m not alone in this

I’m not alone in this.
