Alone

The room is full of voices But none of them are yours Laughter spills like silver rain Across these crowded floors I smile when people ask me If everything's alright But some hearts learn to disappear In the middle of the night And nobody knows How quiet it gets When the music is over Alone Not because nobody stayed Alone Just because you went away There's a space beside my soul That no one else can hold And every road I take tonight Still somehow leads me home Alone I still leave on the lamp sometimes Like you're coming through the door Still catch myself remembering Things I don't need anymore Your shadow doesn't haunt me now It dances and it fades But some loves leave a photograph Inside the heart they break And nobody sees The ghosts that remain After goodbye is spoken Alone Not because nobody stayed Alone Just because you went away There's a space beside my soul That no one else can hold And every road I take tonight Still somehow leads me home Alone Maybe being lonely Isn't what I fear Maybe it's forgetting How it felt when you were here Maybe healing isn't Learning how to move on Maybe it's accepting Some memories belong Alone But not broken anymore Alone Like the ocean meets the shore I carry every piece of us Like moonlight in my bones And even when the world is near I walk this road alone Alone Not empty Just alone
