Lyrics + translation · letras.mus.br

🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • I walk alone, I walk a-
  • My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
  • My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
  • Sometimes, I wish someone out there will find me

Sing it again — final chorus

  • I walk alone, I walk a-
  • I walk this empty street
