Verse:
I used to need the things I've lost
We all bear a different cross
I carried mine and wouldn't lay it down
I felt my share of pain
My heart was broken from the strain
Of always needing someone else around

Chorus:
I fell in love so many times but here I am tonight all by myself
So now I'm learning how to love me without depending on someone else
For the first time in my life I've stepped aside to let things go
Besides the Good Lord and this mandolin
These days I stand alone

Verse 2:
Two's a couple three's a crowd
One is where I am right now
And I can say that I'm alright with that
I've tried and tried and cried out loud
But this new peace that I have found
Tells me there's no way I'm looking back

Chorus:
I fell in love so many times but here I am tonight all by myself
So now I'm learning how to love me without depending on someone else
For the first time in my life I've stepped aside to let things go
Besides the Good Lord and this mandolin
These days I stand alone

Tag:
Besides the Good Lord and this mandolin
These days I stand alone
Alone
