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 alone
La la la la la la
La la la la la –lone
I'm not gonna make it alone
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, oh
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 alone
La la la la la la
La la la la la –lone
I'm not gonna make it alone
La la la la la la
La la la la la –lone
I'm not gonna make it alone
La la la la la la
La la la la la –lone
I'm not gonna make it alone
La la la la la la
La la la la la –lone
'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
Your shoulder to cry on
A friend through the highs and the lows
I'm not gonna make it alone
La la la la la la
La la la la la la –lone
I'm not gonna make it alone
La la la la la la
La la la la la la –lone
I'm not gonna make it alone
La la la la la la
La la la la la la –lone
I'm not gonna make it alone
La la la la la la
La la la la la la –lone
I'm not gonna make it alone
