Alone
There’s no one at my door
Oh, my sadness goes to my core
But how will I live
When there’s nothing else to give.

I thought I was all alone in this world
with no one by my side
But you proved me wrong
No longer being my own tide.

You gave me a companion
You made me feel like a champion
But, of course you had to leave
Why did I ever think you would stay?
So here I lay, with no one by my side
Once again, being my own tide.

You set me free,
You helped me see
But now I’m no longer free
Now it’s just me.

Do you see what’s become of me?
You gave me hope when I was hopeless
Now I’m just a mess
I’m a soul searcher, no more, no less.

But there’s nothing inside of me
I’m hollow
With no one to follow.

Can’t you see it?
How my eyes are always lit?
Well, they are lit, lit with hatred
Hatred towards you for leaving me
Why can’t I just be?
Why me?

You made me who I am today
So really, there’s no other way
But to end it today
Some people might say no way.
but I have to end it today.

“I am all alone!”
I say with a groan
Really it’s more of a moan.

You see, the funny thing is
I don’t need you anymore
Sad I am, no more.

I shake the world until light comes out
Because light is all I have in this darkened world
I’m not alone anymore
Sad, I am no more.

I realized I have a core
No longer hollow
I can feel it when I swallow
When I run too fast
Do you know what it is I feel?

It’s my heart
my own personal art
I do have a purpose
I know that now
I can feel it from my toes to my brow
Yeah that’s right, how,
how I don’t need you anymore
I have a core
That’s all I need for now.
