Alone

I took a walk through the parking lot Of your housing development Boarded up and black So now I roam It’s not like I’m falling apart Don’t you dare worry for me Why on earth would you start now? A solitary flower pot on your front porch It grows and grows and grows I’ve never felt quite so alone Don’t waste your sleep on me I could never live with myself I wouldn’t know where to start [Chorus] I know you hate how much I love you, but there’s no other one I could never take how much you hate me, I vow to die alone I did some talking to God We spoke of the flowers of forgiveness Until the sidewalk swallowed me whole It’s all uphill from here Day by precious day, I build Up a tolerance to dirt in my mouth And concrete in my heart [Chorus] This is what it’s like This is what it’s like This is what it’s like to be alone This is what it’s like This is what it’s like This is what it’s like to be alone
