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
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
I'm not gonna make it alone
'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 alone
