I like to wake alone
To lie and turn to stone
Comfort me, come to me
I won't go on

I like to walk alone
To keep my head screwed on
Well I'm the best, so well done me
I won't go on

Believing, believing
I believe
You might stumble and
Come closer now

If I stay I'm alone
If I go then it will mean
Waiting on my own
It's the pattern of my life
When you care and you cannot feel
And you know that it's for real
So you leave me on my own
To live the pattern of my life

Take time to be
All this and more to me
Well you're the best
So well done you
I won't go on

Believing, believing
I believe
You might turn from your love,
Wait around

If I go I'm alone
If I stay it will mean
Waiting on my own
It's the pattern of my life
When you care and you cannot feel
When you know that it's for real
So you leave me on my own
To live the pattern of my life
