Alone

It was the summer she had to go

I don't ever wanna be alone

While she was fearful for her life

She would never ever feel alive

Show no sign

You don't care and I don't mind

Everything that's important to you

But I know what's underneath

You're holding on by the skin of your teeth

Yeah, we hold onto the past

The one that couldn't last

It was the summer she had to go

I don't ever wanna be alone

While she was fearful for her life

She would never ever feel alive

If I had to guess, it's always gonna be haunting you

When you kill what you could continue

And I really tried my best, uh-huh

And, if anything, I was too protective

I will be sure to tell a detective

He'll nod politely, and with a smile

Say that fingerprints don't lie

It was the summer she had to go

I don't ever wanna be alone

While she was fearful for her life

She would never ever feel alive

On a sunny afternoon, in a dark room

Two way mirror spells out my doom

Must it be so damn tiring?

I'm on all cylinders firing

Like a road far from a war zone

Minds erode, they don't get blown

By the river that I drove her to

I heard this over and over, and then I knew

I don't ever wanna be alone

I don't ever wanna be alone

I don't ever wanna be alone

I don't ever wanna be alone

Alone

Alone

Alone
