Born to Walk Alone - Frederick John

Every new face

Every happy mistake

Is only ever equal to

The number of bonds I break

There was a time

I thought you could be mine

But I was searching for

A pot of gold you didn’t want me to find

Chorus

But I’ve made my peace

There’s no place I call my home

The devil knows my name

I was born to walk alone

I have made my peace

There’s no place I call my home

The devil knows me by name

I was born to walk alone

Every time I wake

With every new day

There comes another chance to

Get up and walk away

I wish I could help you

Help you win your wars

But these words are my truth

I know they’ll never be yours

Chorus

I have made my peace

There’s no place I call my home

The devil knows my name

I was born to walk alone

I have made my peace

There’s no place I call my home

The devil knows me by name

I was born to walk alone

Thought I needed something

Thought that I could be your fool

But after all

Turns out my fire doesn’t need your fuel

I’m kept company

By whisperings of the unknown

These choices are my own

Chorus

I have made my peace

There’s no place I call my home

The devil knows my name

I was born to walk alone

I have made my peace

There’s no place I call my home

The devil knows me by name

I was born to walk alone
