I Don’t Fight Alone

I don’t feel beautiful today
I can barely get up and move
Why bother pretending anymore?
What am I trying to prove?

It’d be easy to stay here
Let myself fade away
I can’t deny it anymore
I always knew I’d lose some day

But that was when I fought alone
Scared, trapped in the dark
But I’m not alone anymore
I’ve got friends to give me a spark

Some hope to light my way
To get me back on my feet
Some love to scare off the monsters
To save me from the edge of defeat

Now I know the truth
I’m not alone in this fight
And when I’m with you
I know everything’s gonna be alright
