It’s getting late and dark outside, the snow is still falling and you’re still on my mind.
I’ve never felt so alone, in this small town that I call home.
I don’t think there’s a soul who understands this is not the future that I planned.
Every day I tell loved ones lies, just so they don’t see past my disguise.
Why can’t you look at me that way I look at you?
Why don’t you feel the same as I do?
Every night I’m asking myself why I’m alone, alone, alone.
I’m alone.
As you smile and slowly walk away, I turned my head to hide in all that pain.
Maybe someday I’ll tell the truth, quit lying to myself quit lying to you.
Why can’t you look at me that way I look at you?
Why don’t you feel the same as I do?
Every night I’m asking myself why I’m alone, alone, alone.
I’m alone.
Maybe it’s the way I show love, maybe it’s the way I can’t trust
maybe it’s cause I keep all my promises.
Maybe I should learn from all this and maybe this is happiness.
Maybe it is best that I’m alone.
But I could love you, like you’ve never known.
Why can’t you look at me that way I look at you?
Why don’t you feel the same as I do?
Every night I’m asking myself why I’m alone, alone, alone.
I’m alone.
Alone, alone, alone.
Alone.
