alone & afraid

sitting by the fire with arms crossed in hand

did i say something that you couldn't stand?

was it the way that i walked to the store?

or when i asked that guy for more?

you never had a way with words

but boy, when you did, did they hurt

i saw you for more than you offered

now that it's just you, i won't be meeting you at the altar

you're just alone and afraid, mhm

you don't have too much to say

ever since we let go, you won't show

that you're just alone and afraid

you walk alone with your head hung low

boy did her words really blow

you try to move on from our wretched past

although society tells you, you're moving to fast

you don't care too much about how you feel

you lost it all in what you thought was a sex appeal

you wish you could have me back, under your spell

but i wouldn't allow that shallow hell

you're just alone and afraid, mhm

you don't have too much to say

ever since we let go, you won't show

that you're just alone and afraid

things start to look pretty good

for someone as hollow as you

you stopped doing all the things that were looked at as bad

even tried to reconnect with your dad

you didn't and it only made you more mad

once you found out he died of old age

and now you're full of rage

but out of all the things i used to say

you're just alone and afraid, mhm

you don't have too much to say

ever since we let go, you won't show

that you're just alone and afraid
