Lyrics

[Verse 1]
This empty room, it fills my mind
Freedom, it leaves me confined
Every single bone has cracked
But in this life, you can't turn back
[Chorus]
I don't want to live
I don't want to live here alone
Alone
Alone
Alone
[Verse 2]
As these words part with my tongue
I question why they're even sung
I promise but I lied
I don't even know myself inside
[Chorus]
I don't want to be
I don't want to be here alone
Alone
Alone
Alone
[Instrumental]
Today and tomorrow have become one
Every single thing has become none
Human nature is a beast
What I've done the most to show I have the least
[Chorus]
Please don't leave me here
Please don't leave me here
Don't you leave me alone
Alone
Alone
Alone
