You're not doing it this alone
You're not doing,
You're not doing this alone

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 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 things

Was 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 again

So 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 do

You're not doing this alone

Resist

    I think that the person isnt dying in the real world but in his mind shes slipping away like a cancer. and He also says i can steal you from your Grey not grave meaning the person doesnt see it as black or white just in the middle. Awesome song either way
