I Don't Want to Be Alone

The night is quiet, but my heart’s too loud, Thinking of you in every crowd. I reach for words I’ve left unsaid, Wishing you were here instead. I tell myself I’m doing fine, But silence draws your name in mine. Each minute drips like falling rain, I’m drowning in this quiet pain. I don’t want to be alone tonight, Don’t want to lose your fading light. I still believe in what we’ve known, 'Cause love like this can’t stand alone. No, I don’t want to be… alone. I hold your picture near my chest, Dreaming of your soft caress. If I could turn the hands of time, I’d go back when you were mine. Maybe love still lives in you somewhere, Maybe you still whisper me in prayer… But I can’t wait in shadows long— Just say the word, and I’ll be strong. I don’t want to be alone tonight, Don’t want to lose your fading light. I still believe in what we’ve known, 'Cause love like this can’t stand alone. No, I don’t want to be… alone… Come back home.
