You're Not Alone
Words & Music by Paul Marcus
Copyright © 1986 Paradise Park Music

The situation shattered -- I knew that by the morning you'd be gone
Tried to fall asleep that night knowing there were tears that wouldn't come
And even if the fault was mine I couldn't bear the blame
'Cause I think that I might fall apart on feeling so ashamed
Though I guess I could stand it if I tried
I really don't know why I never cried

I knew just what you wanted, but it was simpler "not to understand"
You knew what you wanted, too, but somehow let yourself fall in my hands
And every time you handed off to me I dropped the ball
Though you seemed to be so certain that I'd never let you fall
Well maybe, but I sure did let you slide
And I really don't know why I never cried

You said, "Don't forsake me, can't you see I cannot let you go
“Like the stream fall from the mountain I just don't have another path to flow"
Nothing you could promise me would make me change my mind
In thinking I could somehow make the water taste like wine
If I let you down, at least I never lied
But I really don't know why I never cried

The candlelight, it's burning, throws its crazy patterns on your face
You say the pain is over, but in your eyes I still can see a trace
You looked to me, I looked away -- it's always been the same
Although in time I'm changing, for the better, so I claimed
By now I thought those changes would apply
So I really don't know why I never cried

I've shared your fears, you're not alone
And now I wish that you had known
Those hidden parts of me I never shared with you

And as the water passes down the valley never to return
There are no easy answers and not too many chances left to learn
Now I have the strangest feeling, as if I were afraid
Though there really isn't anything you did I would trade
What you left me will outlast the longest storm
And I wish that I were crying in your arms

I've shared your fears, you're not alone
And now I wish that you had known
Those hidden parts of me I never shared with you
