Description
Who am I in the wake of a failed relationship? A rather somber exploration of isolation, loneliness and loss of identity. What's interesting about "Alone" is not the way in which the character "uses" love, but that he's self-aware enough to be doing so consciously.
Lyrics
One love that started to fade He moved towards her and she moved further away Now he's left standing He's never known himself all alone When she's gone, he doesn't know who he is "I loved you for who that made me And I know that that's not healthy Oh God, no... it seems I don't like me when I'm left standing alone" As long as there's her, it masks all the pain Devious voices inside, they whisper his name In deafening silence Now without, his head in his hands, Forced to peek inside at the dragons within "I loved all them because they saved me And I know that that's not healthy But still though, I need them to like me I can't stand being alone" Now what is this? New eyes look his way He feels again, his worth from within He's got his fix, there's fire in his veins He knows again he's claimed And everything's OK "I love you because you'll take me And I know that that's not healthy But just hold me and don't you leave me Anything but just not alone"
