Alone

Lyrics

(Verse 1)
The streetlights hum a tired, amber tune
Against the window of this empty room
I trace the outline where you used to lay
A ghost of warmth before you went away
You left no note, no reason why
A promise whispered to a passing sky

(Pre-Chorus)
And it's the same old sickness, same old curse
Loving her just makes the leaving worse

(Chorus)
Alone, I hate that I love her
A storm I can't outrun, a setting sun
She runs away every time, leaves me shattered on the floor
But she always finds a way back, knocking on my door
And I hate that I love her... but I can't hate her forever

(Verse 2)
Her voice still echoes in the static air
A ghost of perfume, the memory of her hair
I cannot defend against her she owns my very soul
The queen of leaving this broken-hearted fool

(Pre-Chorus)
And I tell myself it's over, let it fade to black
But I know the script, I know you're coming back

(Chorus)
Alone, I hate that I love her
A storm I can't outrun, a setting sun
She runs away every time, leaves me shattered on the floor
But she always finds a way back, knocking on my door
And I hate that I love her... but I can't hate her forever

(Bridge)
Is it comfort or a curse?
This cycle we rehearse
A beautiful, sad verse
That only gets worse
You leave a hole, you fill a hole
You take a piece of my soul
And I let you, I let you

(Guitar Solo)

(Chorus2)
I'm hating that I love her, it's a hollow kind of pain
Getting away just to get pulled back together again
She's the storm I keep on chasing, the shelter I can't find
She runs away, and I'm the fool who's always left behind

(Outro)
No, I can't hate her anymore...
I just wait here, alone...
Tell next time...
