To You, I Am Alone

Folder: 
2005 - 2006

I’m half tempted to say, "To hell with it!"

When your pride swells, mine too says "I’m better than this."

But I remember when we first met

Two scared shitless kids without direction or means

Clinging to the other in hopes to paint the other true

And all the while all we did was paint the other blue



How come when it means everything we walk away

How can we not see that sometimes love is not lost in the pain

The pain of losing, recovering, then reconstructing of faith

By any means necessary, even if it means on your own

Find what you once had and have since wanted



This is as honest as I guess it ever gets

This is when we both see if what we make the other into exists

But I remember the time we first kissed

I hardly had the nerve to push my lips into yours

And since, have hardly had the nerve not to

This is as honest as I guess it ever gets

The wait to see if the nerves will ever shake again



How come when it means everything we remain closed

How can we not see that sometimes love leaves reasons unknown

To whether the losing, recovering, and reconstructing of faith helps us grow

By any means necessary, even if it means on separate roads

What you once had and have since wanted only you know



But if it means anything

Anything at all

To you, I am alone

Profound and of stone

My heart is steadfast

To you, I am alone



I’m half tempted to say, "To hell with it!"

But then I remember the first time we kissed

And how I nearly let my nerves get the best of me



So if this means anything

Anything at all

To you, I am alone
