Put all your angels on the edge
Keep all the roses, I'm not dead
I left a thorn under your bed
I'm never gone

Go tell the world I'm still around
I didn't fly, I'm coming down
You are the wind, the only sound
Whisper to my heart when hope is torn apart

And no one can save you

I walk alone
Every step I take, I walk alone
My winter storm holding me awake
It's never gone when I walk alone

Go back to sleep forever more
Far from your fools and lock the door
They're all around and they'll make sure
You don't have to see what I turned out to be

No one can help you

I walk alone
Every step I take, I walk alone
My winter storm holding me awake
It's never gone when I walk alone

Waiting up in heaven
I was never far from you
Spinning down I felt your every move
I walk alone

I walk alone
Every step I take, I walk alone
My winter storm holding me awake
It's never gone, when I walk alone
