Not Alone Lyrics - Harry Gardner

Verse 1 

Open your eyes and tell me what you see 

Am I among the forgotten? 

Please say you remember me 

Verse 2 

In a room where light hides behind the curtains 

In a bed where you're lost in a dream 

In a time the world is full of darkness 

In a house that doesn't suit quieter than these 

Pre-Chorus 1 

We know you're there somewhere inside 

I say a prayer for you to smile 

Looks like the angels owe me one today 

But I stay strong, I know it won't be long 

Till I see the old days 

Chorus: 

Open your eyes and say hello 

Open your mind and just let go 

Tell me to get the remote 

So we can watch your favourite show 

And ruffle my hair and say it's bad and tell me there's chocolate in your handbag 

And tell me just how much I've grown 

And let me know I'm not alone 

Verse 3 

It happens too fast 

I find it all so strange 

I never knew that this could happen 

I blinked once, and everything had changed 

Verse 4 

I remember how you'd come around and see us 

And you'd always have the same cup for your tea 

Oh that cup sits on the shelf now 

Waiting for the day you come back to me oh 

Pre-Chorus 2 

We understand good things don't last 

But I'd give anything just to see you laugh 

Looks like the angels owe me one today 

But I stay strong I know it won't be long 

Till we see the old days 

Chorus: 

Open your eyes and say hello 

Open your eyes and just let go 

Tell me to get the remote 

So we can watch your favourite show 

And ruffle my hair and say it's bad and tell me there's chocolate in your handbag 

And tell me just how much I've grown 

And let me know I'm not alone 

Verse 5 

And I will never understand how a 

Precious memory can fade away 

But I'm not worried about that 'cos I 

Know you're in good hands 

And you are safe 

*piano plays* 

Chorus: 

Open your eyes and say hello 

Open your eyes and just let go 

Tell me to get the remote 

So we can watch your favourite show 

And ruffle my hair and say it's bad and tell me there's chocolate in your handbag 

And tell me just how much I've grown 

And let me know I'm not alone
