[Intro]
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

[Verse 1]
I fell in love with the crooked truth
One that I felt like I had to prove
Like I could handle the pressure, on my own
Except I never do
But I put on a fancy show
When I'm caught in the undertow
To hide what is showing, this pride that I'm holding
I can't let it go

[Chorus]
Even though
I cannot do this alone (Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
I cannot do this alone (Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)

[Verse 2]
I still remember what my mother said
When I was younger, I won't forget
She sat down me and my and brother
Said, "Look out for each other"
And we always did
Well, later on then I met a girl
The true companion I found in her
I never wanted another, so I tell her I love her
And I always will
[Chorus]
She needs to know that
I cannot do this alone (Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
I cannot do this alone (Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
I can't handle it anymore (Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
I cannot do this alone (Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)

[Bridge]
I need somebody who knows my name
To shine a light on the darker days
Don't ever let me go
Don't ever let me go
Brother, don't let me forget the truth
But then come after me if I do
Don't let me walk away
(Oh, oh-oh-oh)
(Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh)
(Oh, oh-oh-oh)

[Chorus]
No
I cannot do this alone (Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
I cannot do this alone (Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
I cannot handle this anymore (Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
I cannot do this alone (Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
Oh, alone
