It's Never the Words You Say Lyrics

Sometimes you just want to know
You're not alone

She said
"it takes everything I am
To fight every thought I have
And I can't seem to find the strength
I need to live like this
Do you know what it's like
To have to walk that line?"
I said, "I know what it's like
Yeah I know what it's like
Because I walk that line myself at times
I have those thoughts myself most nights
It's never easy
When you live on a battle line."

Sometimes you just want to know
You're not alone
Sometimes you just want to know
You're not alone
She said
"I hate being the way I am
I hate being the type of person that I can't stand
Could you ever understand?"
And I said
"it's alright
Yeah it's alright
I know exactly what that's like"
That's all she needed to hear
All she needed to hear

Sometimes you just want to know
You're not alone
Sometimes you just want to know
You're not alone
A few years on
I thought this would be long gone
Hear where it's coming from
London
Now I know
Not much ever changes
If you don't let old habits go
It's never the words you say
But the way you say them
It's never the same if you try and fake them
Going back over old ground
Is like a hammer to your mental health
But we're still dragging concrete feet
So I can't focus
I can't focus
On anything else
