Alone

Softly, gently, the glow begins
I knew at once what it was
Not what I chose, yet it pulls me in
But I know that it will have to end

I feel some comfort knowing
This is something real
Try to rise to the occasion
Try to heal
Still I know that it will have to end

But it's only temporary
I will make my way back home
I will find myself there or on the way

At least I won't be alone

Tired, broken, I let her win
I know the way that this goes
Not how I chose, but she hurts again
And I know that this will have to end

I try to find some comfort knowing
This is how we grow
Try to find a new familiar
Try to hope
At least I have you now, my friend

And it's only temporary
I will find my way back home
I will find myself there or on the way

And then I won't be alone

Lost and needing, you let me in
I wish I knew your heartbeat
If I could choose, you'd hold me then
In an embrace that would never end

I find some comfort knowing
This is how I feel
Try to focus on the glowing
Don't reveal
I wish I knew how this will end

But it's only temporary
I will find my heart a home
I will find a place no matter where

And hope that I'm not alone

Somehow, you were the same as me
I promise I won't let you go
Of all my choices
You were all I wanted there to be
And I want to be all that you see

And there is comfort waiting here
Safe within my arms
I will hold you and I'll protect you
I will keep you safe and warm
And you will always have me, my friend

And whatever may be temporary
Know that I will be your home
I will guide you on your journey

You will never be alone

And in you, I'm not alone
