(Intro)
(Ad-libbed whispers and a slow, mournful piano melody)
Yeah... uh... yeah...
(Sigh)
This for everybody who ever felt alone... you know what I'm sayin'...
(Verse 1)
Used to be my dog, we was chasin' bags together
Now you mad 'cause my success lookin' a lot better
Remember them nights we was talkin' 'bout the dream?
Now you on the other side, talkin' slick about the team
That's the fake love, that's the counterfeit smiles, that's the jealousy
When you need 'em most, they disappear like a ghost, it's a cold reality
Gave you my last, gave you my trust, thought it was solid, but it was just dust
Felt like I was drownin', reachin' out, but your hand was rusted.
(Chorus - sung with a melancholic, Auto-Tuned melody)
And the one I loved the most, she hit me with that "I can't do this anymore"
Walked right out that door, left me on the floor, didn't even care to call
Now I'm standin' here frozen, tryna figure out what it's all about
'Cause when you at your lowest, that's when you find out who you really can't live without
Ain't nobody real, ain't nobody solid, it's just me and this pain
Guess I'm better off alone, dancin' with the tears in the rain.
(Verse 2)
Thought we had forever, you was my whole world, my one and only girl
But all them promises was empty, just some words in the whirl
You said you'd never leave me, said you'd always be right here
But when I fell apart, you just disappeared
Didn't even look back, didn't even shed a tear
Just left me with these memories, livin' in my biggest fear
So yeah, I'll put it in a song, put the pain on a beat
'Cause this is the only way I know how to handle defeat.
(Chorus - sung with more emotion and a slight break in the voice)
And the one I loved the most, she hit me with that "I can't do this anymore"
Walked right out that door, left me on the floor, didn't even care to call
Now I'm standin' here frozen, tryna figure out what it's all about
'Cause when you at your lowest, that's when you find out who you really can't live without
Ain't nobody real, ain't nobody solid, it's just me and this pain
Guess I'm better off alone, dancin' with the tears in the rain.
(Outro - ad-libbed and fading out)
Yeah... just me and this pain...
They'll always leave you... always...
When you're at your lowest, that's when they show you who they really are...
(Melody fades into silence)
