Jimmy Barnes – Going Down Alone Lyrics

Your faith is tested each and every day
And what is now is gonna fade away
All the ones that you trusted, all in their turn
Add fuel to the fire in which you burn

Don't take too much imagination
To see things ain't right
When you think that you're through
That's when they got you in their sights

Going down alone, just a matter of time
All you can get, is what I'm leaving behind
You live a lie but I can't seem to live that way
Now the bird has flown (now the bird has flown)
Going down alone (going down alone)
Going down alone

There's a light that's shining out beyond the grey
But you wake up in a pool of sweat to face another day

In need of some consideration that don't come your way
Enjoy the crime, do the time, that's the price you gotta pay

Going down alone, just a matter of time
All you can get is what I'm leaving behind
You live a lie but I can't seem to live that way
Now the bird has flown (now the bird has flown)
Going down alone (going down alone)

Well, times like these, think that everybody's gotta find someone
But I can't find myself, I hope and I pray somebody's gonna shine a light for me

You live a lie but I can't seem to live that way

Going down alone, it's just a matter of time
All you can get is what I'm leaving behind
You live a lie but I can't seem to live that way
Now the bird has flown (now the bird has flown)
Going down alone (going down alone)

Going down alone, just a matter of time
All you can get is what I'm leaving behind
Oh, live a lie but I can't seem to live that way
Now the bird has flown (now the bird has flown)
Going down alone (going down alone)

Going down alone (it's just a matter of time)
Going down alone (what you're leaving behind)
I'm going down alone (it's just a matter of time)
You're going down alone (what you're leaving behind)
You're going down alone (it's just a matter of time)
You're going down alone (what you're leaving behind)
You're going down alone (what you're leaving behind)

(What you're leaving behind)
(Going down alone)
(You're going down alone)
(Going down alone)
