I dreamt last night you wrote me a letter
When I opened it up your words had wings
Sad and sorry, need and forever
They seemed such frail and weightless things
You wrote, "baby, it's been such a long, long time
You shouldn't have left, but you couldn't have known
But don't feel sorry and don't feel singled out
Everybody's all alone."
You said, "all alone we walk this world
All alone we pay our tolls.
And oh, the pain we all endure
Walking around with separate souls."
So I cried a river for old regrets
My heart bled an ocean for days gone by
But when I awoke my cheeks weren't wet
And my lips were saying goodbye
Cause you stand crying, tied and tethered
To the tragedy of being on your own
But there's nothing better than standing together
When everybody's all alone
All alone we walk this world.
All alone, but always whole
Cause all it is to fall in love
Is to remember the remainder of your soul
And there's nothing better than standing together
When everybody's all alone
