About This Track

'Alone' finds G-Eazy processing heartbreak through the lens of someone who built their entire identity around independence. The track samples Heart's 1987 song of the same name, anchoring the hook in a familiar refrain about self-sufficiency that now rings hollow. G-Eazy traces the arc from emotional autonomy to vulnerability, charting how meeting someone dissolved the walls he'd constructed. The verses unfold as a reckoning. He catalogs the damage in precise, sometimes brutal detail: the energy he once poured into music now weaponised into songs about loss, the inability to forget someone he still loves, the particular torture of seeing them with someone else. What emerges is not self-pity but a kind of exhausted clarity, the realisation that love, once lost, reshapes everything it touched. The song sits on the album 'Big' as a moment of genuine exposure, a counterweight to the bravado that surrounds it.

"Alone" is a track by G-Eazy, from the album Big, released 20th April 2010. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

Alone

[Hook]

'Til now I always got by on my own (On my own)

I never really cared 'til I met you ('Til I met you)

'Til now I always got by on my own (On my own)

I never really cared 'til I met you ('Til I met you)

[Verse 1: G-Eazy]

Uh, this wasn't typical for me, don't confuse it

Only thing I've ever loved before you was music

Took my heart and bruised it, you ain't give a fuck

I guess you never know what you have 'til you lose it

I know soon you'll probably see it all clear

And realize you lost a real love

Who was here for you unconditionally, but it's ugly

Now years down the line, you reminisce to the point you shed a tear

But I'll be long gone and I never will appear in you're life no more

So gimme 'bout a year, turn on the radio and I'll be all that you can hear

And you'll be mad you ever went and let me disappear

Now it's only my dreams that I run to

It just sucks that one of them will never come true

You did some shit that you can't Apple "Z" undo

You cocked back and shot me down witch'ya gun boo

And I still got the wounds that'll prove it

What the fuck's the point of having love if you lose it?

Took the energy, that's what I go into the booth with

Now I write a song from my heart, you abuse it

And paint the picture of a love lost

Now I know I can't afford the price love cost

Feelin' feeble and weak from the blood loss seeping from my chest

Now I know it just ain't what it once was

[Hook]

'Til now I always got by on my own (On my own)

I never really cared 'til I met you ('Til I met you)

'Til now I always got by on my own (On my own)

I never really cared 'til I met you ('Til I met you)

[Verse 2: G-Eazy]

And since you peaced, every day has been a struggle to

Maintain sane when I know I'm still in love with you

Seeing you around with somebody else touchin' you, I'm sick to my stomach, wondering is he fuckin' you?

And I know I'm buggin' too, wishin' I could let it go and stop thinkin' 'bout you

But I can't forget it though

You were my queen and you were my dream, 'til you turned nightmare, I just wanna scream

Somebody please pinch me, I just gotta wake up

I just keep missin' how it was before the break up

Stuck in the past when you were my ace

I just hope you know you could never be replaced

It burns like mace in my face, a vodka shot straight no chase, when I think of us being erased

But you don't feel the same, showin' no empathy

Whatever fuck it, I guess it wasn't meant to be

"Aha ha, It is what it is, take it how you want it."

[Hook]

'Til now I always got by on my own (On my own)

I never really cared 'til I met you ('Til I met you)

'Til now I always got by on my own (On my own)

I never really cared 'til I met you ('Til I met you)

'Til now I always got by on my own (On my own)

I never really cared 'til I met you ('Til I met you)

'Til now I always got by on my own (On my own)

I never really cared 'til I met you ('Til I met you)
