Mika Evans – Emily Watson lyrics

Everything you call a dream
Write it down, play it out and wrap it up
Everything you thought you'd be by now
So far away
You could quit and who would notice
I guess no one's told you you're

By yourself but not alone
We're all weak
We all collapse, we all break down, we all cave in
And we pretend that we don't
You get so tired of being strong
You don't have to be
You should sing and you should dance and you should laugh
You shouldn't have to fake your smile

A name is just a name
You're insecure so sure of everything your not
You wish that you were laminated
You feel so thin
Your skins not thick enough to take all those angry words they say to you

By yourself but not alone
We're all weak
We all collapse, we all break down, we all cave in
And we pretend that we don't
Get so tired of being strong
You don't have to be
You should sing and you should dance and you should laugh
You shouldn't have to fake your smile

You sit on the ground hands wrapped round your knees
Head is down and you feel so empty
Take what's left of your heart walk through this day
I know you'll shine so bright it'll hurt their eyes

Write it down, play it out and wrap it up
Everything that you are right now, you're beautiful
And that's enough to be, you mean so much to me
You mean so much to me, so much to me yeah

By yourself but not alone
We're all weak
We all collapse, we all break down, we all cave in sometimes,
Pretend we don't
Get so tired of being strong
You don't have to be
You should sing and you should dance and you should laugh out loud
You shouldn't have to think you're by yourself anymore
You got me, you don't have to, you don't ever have to
You don't have to fake your smile for me
