Alone
Lying awake, on my own againI can finally steal the entire bedAnd yet I curl into this ball of fleshProtected from the chill that startsInside my bones and spreads to partsOf me that I'd forgotten could feelThe pain of coldBut they'll numb themselves soon enough or so I'm told
AloneDesperate for somebody, for you to holdBut all I'll be is holding out until the only skin I need's my ownTo feel at home againAlone againWindow is open and the sky is dimYou know me and my affair with 4 a.m.But all I wish for now is sleep's sweet releaseMusic of the rain keeps me awakeWishing it were running down my faceInstead of rivulets of the saltier kindOh, how it stingsBut like learning, healing's only something time can bring
AloneDesperate for somebody, for you to holdBut all I'll be is holding out until the only skin I need's my ownTo feel at home againAlone again
The walls where our shadows used to playThe echoes of promises we madeThe sheets where our bodies used to layTangled and hard to discernLike telling apart happiness and familiar comfort
AloneDesperate -- for you to holdBut all I'll be is holding out until the only skin I need's my ownTo feel at home againAlone againWhole againAlone again…
