alone

I can't be this alone, with you.

 

If I'm to be alone, let me call myself alone.

Don't make me suffer this killing hope.

 

Wrapped in your sleeping arms, let me not think

"alone"

Watching you laugh, make me not think

"alone"

Feeling your lips on mine, force me not to think

"alone"

I can't be this alone, with you.

 

I think of you by the minute. Can't you think of me

sometimes?

You say you know, but if you know why don't you care?

If you know, why don't you try?

I can't be this alone, with you.

 

Free from expectation and hope, I can survive.

But this, this drains me. This will leave me dry.

Choose one and let it be that. Just choose.

Because I can't do this with you.
