Wide awake and he shakes in a panic 
Never woke up alone ever before 
Had his woman long as he can remember 
Tries to forget, but he can't, he can't
Out of bed and he dreams in the shower 
She's standing naked and apologizing 
Reaches for her 'till his mind becomes blood hot 
Woken up to be burned, burned, again
Go it alone 
You got it, so it goes 
I want to breathe and I said 
I can't take it any other way 

On the streets he's walkin', wounded 
Doesn't smile for the child at play 
Thoughts of suicide and alleviation 
Anything to get his heart off of the coals 
Does he fly away or just talk about it 
Like a seagull born to cry in the wind 
All experiences lead to a young girl 
Alone you will meet the one who lies in wait 
Go it alone 
You got it, so it goes 
Try to breathe, but you can't 
You can't take it any other way, yeah, yeah

Myself, don't talk to me 
I can help myself, don't talk to me 
I can help myself, myself 
I can help myself, don't talk to me 
I can help myself, don't talk to me 
I can help myself, don't talk to me 
I can help myself, myself

Myself, don't talk to me 
I can help myself 

Wide awake and he shakes in a panic 
Never woke up alone ever before 
Had his woman long as he can remember 
Tries to forget, but he can't, he can't, he can't, he can't
