alone at the Live Dream

[Intro]

I was a girl when you met me

A woman when you left me alone

I was softer when you met me

Sharpened when you left me alone

Flashbacks to a father saluting his daughter

Leaving through the back door, the only thing he taught her

"We are never the same when someone rips us straight from the earth and runs

Not even the decency to walk away from the slaughter"

But the roots grow back stronger

The blooms blossom taller

But etched in our skin and scraped in our bones

Is that the ones we loved, they left us on our own

The ones we loved, they left us alone

[Verse 1]

Is it wrong that I wanna see you cry?

Haven't felt a thing from you in quite a while

You could steal one, you could beg or borrow

Anything but sitting there, emotionless and hollow

After all, we've been through hell

You could give me more than just an empty shell

Can't believe how far we fell

I'm not feeling it, but I keep saying that I'm doin' well

[Chorus]

And I'm so done with lying

Done with solo crying

And I'm so done with trying

Alone, alone

Alone, alone

[Verse 2]

Slipped through cracks that we couldn't fill

Used a hundred dollar words, but couldn't pay the bill

We said forever, set rules like never

Talked all the talk, but we couldn't walk it together

After all, we've been through hell

[Chorus]

And I'm so done with lying

Done with solo crying

And I'm so done with trying

Alone, alone

Alone, alone

[Bridge]

Not just emotionless, maybe you're clueless

You couldn't handle all this

Tired of trying alone

I'd say that I miss you, but you're already gone

And I've been through hell

And I won't stick around and turn into an empty shell

[Chorus]

And I'm so done with lying

Done with solo crying

I'm so done with trying

Alone, alone

Alone, alone
