Alone Webster says it means without anyone else I say it means when your soul melts
Alone just isn't by yourself Alone is putting your personality on a dusty old shelf Like an old book that you've finished reading You stand solitary and useless And deep down inside your heart is bleeding
Bleeding from what? you may ask A simple thing, just one little task A quest for love... A quest to live the dream that everyone around you lives But you can't Instead it's just you and only you standing there Hopeless as you stand in front of that mirror
The heart yearns for attention that you'll seemingly never receive But something inside tells you to believe Only to be let down time and again Love hurts. Love stinks. amen.
Your friends always tell you that you aren't alone But that phrase has merely become a drone Alone is a constant battle of ups and downs But mostly downs And you wonder if you'll ever find love
They say give it time, you're young But isn't nearly 20 years long enough? Enough to experience what God intended us to all feel? 20 years by yourself is rough
And after your apparently endless fall Maybe it's best to leave the book on the shelf after all...
