Alone - Halie Loren
Lying awake on my own again
I can finally steal the entire bed
And yet I curl into this ball of flesh
Protected from the chill that starts
Inside my bones and spreads to parts
Of me that I'd forgotten could feel
The pain of cold
But they'll numb themselves soon enough or so I'm told
Alone
Desperate for somebody for you to hold
But all I'll be is holding out
Until the only skin I need's my own
To feel at home again
Alone again
Window is open and the sky is dim
You know me and my affair with 4 am
But all I long for now is sleep's sweet release
Music of the rain keeps me awake
Wishing it were running down my face
Instead of rivulets of the saltier kind
Oh how it stings
But like and it standing healing's
On they
Only time can bring
Alone
Desperate for somebody for you to hold
But all I'll be is holding out
Until the only skin I need's my own
To feel at home again
Alone again
The walls where our shadows used to play
The echoes of promises we made
The sheets where our bodies used to lay
Tangled and hard to discern
They're telling apart happiness
And familiar comfort
Alone
Desperate for you to hold
But all I'll be is holding out
Until the only skin I need's my own
To feel at home again
Alone again
Whole again
Alone again
