lyrics

ALONE
As I stare at the ceiling, alone barely breathing
Awakened by my misery
Empty walls tell a story, of my fall from glory
The signs I was too blind to see

There’s no echoes of laughter, no love ever after
The silence here is killin’ me
Lyin’ here in my sorrow, hopin’ that tomorrow
I’ll let go of her memory

Like a slow burnin’ ember
It’ll haunt me forever
Too often mistaken, her sweet love forsaken
So much, that I wanted to say
My lonely heart’s breakin’, I slowly awaken
To the truth that I drove her away

Now I think of the good times, the heartaches, the sunshine
Reflecting on my better days
Times that I didn’t hold her, things I never told her
Creep back in my mind here to stay

I can’t go back in time Lord, it’s still on my mind Lord
How I loved her in some sorry way
As my breakdown draws nearer, the face in the mirror
Is the only one left here to blame

Like a slow burnin’ ember
It’ll haunt me forever
Too often mistaken, her sweet love forsaken
So much, that I wanted to say
My lonely heart’s breakin’, I slowly awaken
To the truth that I drove her away

My lonely heart’s breakin’, as I slowly awaken
To the truth that I drove her away
