Here you are alone, and you deserve it

Your friends have turned to stone 
E           Em 
And that's on you

You had a cause to serve but did you serve it? 
Em              C                 D 
Or did you see yourself in a way that wasn't true?

Why tell all those lies?

But a stack of lies is not a firm foundation

You cannot build a castle on a mountain made of sand
