alone in your arms
alone i lay
alone here tonight
i don't need you to stay
maybe i''m numb
maybe i'm crazy
maybe it's the way
my vision goes hazy
but i know you're here
i can feel your touch
your arms hold me tight
but it's still not enough
i still feel empty
i still feel that void
i'm drowning in confusion
my sanity has been destroyed
i can't shake this feeling
it rots me to the core
and despite your strong arms
i don't want this anymore
i've been tossed to the side
and thrown in the trash
it's been a hell of a ride
but there's no turning back
and maybe you're different
and maybe i'm wrong
and maybe you're the reason
i listen to love songs
but until i can breathe
and my hands stop shaking
my back will be turned
cause i can't stand faking
i can no longer deny
the ache in my bones
"it's not you, it's me"
i sound like a drone
i'm a train off it's tracks
derailed by my thoughts
i don't want to hurt you
but i'mΒ Β twisted in knots
i'm an unsolvable puzzle
a mystery to myself
so walk out the door
there's nothing here left
it kills me to say
you're not what i'm missing
so please forget about this
no more reminiscing
one night of bliss
won't set the course
don't look in my eyes
they're filled with remorse
so alone i'll remain
alone here tonight
i'm sorry my darling
the time is not right
but don't give up hope
cause someday you will see
i'll move past this
it'll be just you and me
i'm fighting real hard
to figure this out
but i can't lead you on
or fill myself with doubt
so hold me if you want
it's at your own risk
but when the sun rises
i'll be dust in the wind.
