Stand - Good Riddance

So here I stand

Alone by the side of the road

And I’m reaching for someone to hold

Something to cling to

I close my eyes

Shove my hands in my pockets and smile

And the darkness drifts away

I’m at peace only once in awhile

You don’t understand

There’s nothing to say

When everything seems lost

You can bet, they’ll somehow find a way

Yeah

Well, I’m feeling hurt

And I’ve fought back the tears of my own

But there’s something to be said for

The ones who face the darkness alone

You’re too cool to care

To self righteous to see and believe

It’s a bond we’ll never break

A chance for one more change of heart

Go!

Did you ever think about the words of time?

Do you have the strength to shout it?

Ready or not, so

I never thought I’d be the one complaining

But I can’t believe it’s been inside me all this time

So, here I stand
