Songs: Being alone

by Clint Rogers

Well you left the day that you found her number,

It was a single thoughtless kiss,

After dinner and a short walk.

You said you didn't know how I could be that thoughtless,

Ignoring what we had,

For what you thought was some new lover.

*

But the night alone in Motel 6 convinced me,

You were there from the start, and you'd be there until the end,

I didn't it know it at first, but you were right. (Spoken line)

Please come back, I'm scared of being alone.

*

We were getting ready to change our lives for the better,

A new direction, a new career,

A new apartment, a new city.

I never meant to throw it all away by ignoring what we were,

I only held her hand, I never touched her,

My sheets that night were hotel white not fitted to her bed,

And as I walk through that old apartment,

Where we spent seven happy years,

Things we shared speak to me,

As I packed up to make the move.

*

And these nights alone have long since convinced me,

You were there from the start, and you'd be there until the end,

Nobody else could ease my mind like you do,

Complete that hole that's still left in my heart,

Chase away my fears, understand my tears,

And stand beside me in good times as well as bad,

I didn't it know it at first, but you were right. (Spoken line)

Please come back, I'm scared of being alone.
