DON'T LOOK AHEAD ALONE

Verse 3

There's a window in your room that you don't open

And a coat you keep on hanging by the door

You say you're fine, you say you're only thinking

But thinking's what you've been doing since before

I knew the shape of all your silences

The way you fold your hands when you're afraid

You don't have to be the strong one in this moment

You don't have to carry what you never made

Pre-Chorus

So lay it down, lay it down right here

I can hold a little more than you can bear

Lay it down, lay it down with me

You don't have to see the whole road to take the first street

Chorus

Don't look ahead alone

Let me walk the part you cannot see

Don't look ahead alone

Some things are lighter when you hand them to me

I won't rush you, I won't go

I'll be standing where the road gets low

So don't look ahead alone

Post-Chorus

(Alone, alone)

Don't look ahead alone

(Alone, alone)

I'll be standing where the road gets low

Verse 4

Some mornings you wake up and you're already tired

Before the day has even asked you for a thing

And you smile like it's a language you were taught

To keep the door shut on the ache it brings

I'm not asking you to say it all at once

Just the first word, then the second, then the third

I have learned to love the pauses in between

And I'm not leaving over anything I heard

Pre-Chorus

So lay it down, lay it down right here

I can hold a little more than you can bear

Lay it down, lay it down with me

You don't have to see the whole road to take the first street

Chorus

Don't look ahead alone

Let me walk the part you cannot see

Don't look ahead alone

Some things are lighter when you hand them to me

I won't rush you, I won't go

I'll be standing where the road gets low

So don't look ahead alone

Bridge

And if the future's just a room with no windows

And the map you drew is fading at the seams

Then let me be the one who keeps the light on

Let me be the weight that holds you while you dream

You were never meant to do this by yourself

Nobody is, nobody is, nobody is

Breakdown

(Don't look ahead)

Don't look ahead alone

(Don't look ahead)

I'm still here, I'm still here

(Don't look ahead)

Don't look ahead alone

(Don't look ahead)

We'll get there, we'll get there

Chorus

Don't look ahead alone

Let me walk the part you cannot see

Don't look ahead alone

Some things are lighter when you hand them to me

I won't rush you, I won't go

I'll be standing where the road gets low

So don't look ahead alone

Outro

(Alone, alone)

Don't look ahead alone

(Alone, alone)

Don't look ahead alone

(Ooh, ooh)

I'll be standing where the road gets low

(Ooh, ooh)

So don't look ahead alone
