People let you down, And people tear your heart out The only thing in this world You can rely on is your own clout Come into this world alone And death is the same We are all here in this life together So on whom can we place the blame? Stop making one person everything And letting them hold so much worth Putting them on a pedestal Is doomed to cause inevitable hurt At one point in your life You realize there is no one on which to rely Time to face the painful truth As you finally open your eyes The only one you have is yourself So learn to treat it right No one can be relied upon to carry you Through your inescapable plight.

Alone
People let you down, And people tear your heart out The only thing in this world You can rely on is your own clout Come into this world alone And death is the same We are all here in this life together So on whom can we place the blame? Stop making one person everything And letting them hold so much worth Putting them on a pedestal Is doomed to cause inevitable hurt At one point in your life You realize there is no one on which to rely Time to face the painful truth As you finally open your eyes The only one you have is yourself So learn to treat it right No one can be relied upon to carry you Through your inescapable plight.
