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.
