[Intro]
(You're not doing this alone)
(You're not doing, you're not doing this alone)
[Verse 1: Kele Okereke]
For 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 in your veins
Wake me up when you come to bed
[Hook: Kele Okereke]
So toughen up
Biko toughen up
Biko toughen up
This world isn't kind to little things
(You're not doing this alone)
[Verse 2: Kele Okereke]
Was my love not strong enough to
Bring you back from the dead?
If i could eat your cancer I would
But I can't (You're not doing this alone)
So I keep writing these songs for you
To steal you from your grave
We can dance in our front room again
(You're not doing this alone)
(You're not doing, you're not doing this alone)
