Alone
I'm sitting here with you on the side of this road
Silence prevails once again
Words form in my head but don't come out my mouth
What I should have spoken I kept within
and I realize that I have so many things to tell
I have to ask you why you would do what you did if we were doing so well
Im walking alone on this quiet night
Trying not to think about you for too long
If I were to ask, could you tell me what went wrong
But it's okay
I didn't need my heart anyway
It's something I'm going to have to learn
To give away all the love I feel inside
even if I get none in return
I will shake this off
and in the morning you will see me with my smile on
I feel shy
watching these memories pass me by
I wish I could take them as my own
Sometimes I look towards the lights and wonder if youre all alone.
