You're not doing it this alone
You're not doing,
You're not doing this aloneFor my sweetheart the melancholic, you have crossed the river Styx
And the waves have taken you away
As I lay my head on your chest, I can hear it your veins
Wake me up when you come to bed[Chorus]
So toughen up
Biko toughen up
Biko toughen up
This world isn't kind to little thingsWas my love strong enough to bring you back from the dead
If I could eat your cancer I would but I can't
So I keep writing these songs for you
To steal you from your gray
And we can dance in our front room againSo toughen up
Biko toughen up
Biko toughen up
I need you be strong for us[Chorus]Don't you know that when you stand you stand up for the both of us
Remember that when the darkness looms
Every tear you shed is cleansing, taking the pain away from you
I left you blueberries in the fridge, the little things that I can doYou're not doing this aloneResist
