"Alone" lyrics

"Alone"

He was a shy boy when he was at school
It took him years to learn the golden rule
Through lose
He gets so angry, see it in his eyes
He has no patience with people telling lies
Who choose to wear the old disguise

I wanna live where there's room to breathe
Take one step closer and I'll swear I'll leave alone
Erase the past and never hesitate
Don't leave the light on, don't stay up and wait alone
Alone, alone

Alone, alone, alone, alone, alone
Alone, alone, alone, alone, alone

He was a quiet man who always knew his place
The morning train was a fate he had to face
Each day
He'd get so lonely, now everybody's gone
He watches from his window as the world moves on
But he'll stay
'Cause it's better that way

He'll say, "I wanna live where there's room to breathe
Take one step closer and I'll swear I'll leave alone."
Alone, alone
Erase the past and never hesitate
Don't leave the light on, don't stay up and wait alone
Alone, alone

Well, I've got the keys and I got the car
Don't make me need you when I've come this far alone
Alone, alone

Alone, alone, alone, alone, alone
Alone, alone, alone, alone, alone
Alone, alone, alone, alone, alone

Alone
Alone
Alone
Alone
Alone
Alone
Alone
