I am alone in how I feel My knees buckle and my blood runs cold My heart drops to my feet The words that I repeat in my head are the ones I wish you’d say to me But I am alone in how I feel The scenes that play in my mind are not real But still I act them out as if the past can be changed As if I can undo time As if I can change your mind Again I am alone in the way I feel This love is a fabrication A simple miscalculation That has been synthesized To soften the blow of rejection When I am nothing close to perfection I am alone Because I am afraid to bare my soul To tell secrets that cannot be untold A burden that I must hold Love has turned me to stone In the darkness I am alone
