Like I'm waiting for a change
As if I'd stare long enough
I'd see it when it came

I used the book of numbers
By the silent telephone
I called up everyone I found
But didn't talk to no one

And the rain comes down
As if it's trying to wash me away
And there ain't no romantic
Movin' lines like they say

Standing alone
Like I got nowhere to go
Standing alone
Like the day that I was born
Out on my own
I believe this boy has grown
Standing alone

Ain't no way to take a blow
When every cheek's been turned
I can't show another side
When every side's been burned

I'm helpless, can't fight a raging heart
And I got no use for bein' torn apart
And the world don't seem
To have no use for me
'Cause you've given nothing
And nothing isn't free

Standing alone
Like I got nowhere to go
Standing alone
Like the day that I was born
Out on my own
I believe this boy has grown
Standing alone

You can't keep it all inside
I need someone else
To stand with me by my side
Give me something to fight
Something to hold on to
I just don't wanna be standing alone

And the rain comes down
As if it's trying to wash me away
And there ain't no romantic
Movin' lines, like they say

Standing alone
Like I got nowhere to go
Standing alone
Like the day that I was born
Out on my own
I believe this boy has grown
Standing alone

Standing alone
Like I got nowhere to go
Standing alone
Like the day that I was born
Out on my own
I believe this boy has grown
Standing alone

Like I'm waiting for a change
As if I'd stare long enough
