Lyrics

Alone again you go away

What you mean that you don't know
It's obvious you think you do
You think it's best in your loneliness
Afraid of what's right in front of you

Alone

What can I do when you've turned away
Shut close the door
Figure out how Imma try again
Play it through to be with you
But alone again it's how it's gonna end

Alone you go

(Alone again you go away)
Making my move so carefully
You feel it when you stare at me
Making my move so carefully
You feel it when you stare at me
Making my move so carefully
You feel it when you stare at me
Making my move so carefully
You feel it when you stare at me

We could have been so wrong
But I guess you'll never find out
But I guess you'll never find out

I can't do anything but stay
It won't be the same as yesterday
You stay afraid of you and me
And I just pray you let the fear go away

Alone

And I can't see you as a friend
So now I know how this has got to end
Make it so nobody wins
Ending this before it begins

Alone you go

(Alone again you go away)
Making my move so carefully
You feel it when you stare at me
Making my move so carefully
You feel it when you stare at me
Making my move so carefully
You feel it when you stare at me
Making my move so carefully
You feel it when you stare at me

We could have been so wrong
But I guess you'll never find out
But I guess you'll never find out

But I guess you'll never find out
But I guess you'll never find out

Alone again you go away

We could have been so wrong
We could have been so wrong

(We could have been so wrong)
But I guess you'll never find out
But I guess you'll never find out
But I guess you'll never find out
But I guess you'll never find out
But I guess you'll never find out
But I guess you'll never find out
But I guess you'll never find out
But I guess you'll never find out

(We could have been so wrong)
But I guess you'll never find out
But I guess you'll never find out
But I guess you'll never find out
But I guess you'll never find out
But I know you'll never find out
But I know you'll never find out
But I know you'll never find out
But I know you'll never find out
