lyrics

Hello mind, something is wrong with me

I’m out of time, the tune will never be

I’m striking out a path that has no start or end

Just commentary from my friends, you’ll be fine in good time, they’re so kind

What I want, what I will never be

What I’ve got, what I could never see

The greatest gift, to love and be loved in return

Don’t take for granted when you learn the words I mined from inside stuck in time

Where I go, I go alone

So easy to leave the lesson you don’t want to learn

I go, I go alone

A simple solution when you have no place to turn

Let’s get serious, something I’ve always heard

When I’m hearing this broken into words

The easy day was saying yes and going through

and finding other ways to you, ‘cause from the heart to me was the hardest part

Why go, why go alone

It's easy to flee into myself and always win

Why go, why go alone

So simple to see right through the trap while walking in

Selfish boy with my new velvet toy

Softer than a smile

Naturally, if she’s in love with me

I’d leave her in a while

Goodbye love, hello reality

Hereinabove, I’m below ability

I’m casting off and floating slowly on the wave

and humbly thankful one forgave

If you drift away I’ll have to say

Don’t go, don’t go alone

So easy to see a lonely life when no one cares

Don’t go, don’t go alone

A simple belief that we should live our lives in pairs
