please
talk to me
say hello
say anything
i'm here
i'll be drinking
i think i need you
though i'm sure you'll never
need me
and oh
i'm loving you so
but i don't even know
a single thing about you
but oh
i don't want to go
and i'll walk slow
to see if you are looking
i'm so scared you'll shut me down
so instead of speaking
i'll make excuses
and drink more beer
and i'm so afraid
of being alone
i'm willing to go
so low
that i'd
stay with someone i loathe
only to ensure i'm never alone
thousands of people
surrounding me
why do i feel so alone?
when i go to bed
my stomach drops
inside me a dark black hole
i try all day to fill it
with work and entertainment
and when it's done i cry and shake
for i can't seem to cope
i was so scared of being alone
i was ready to fall so low
then i saw another way
to go
love. where is love?
in the space between ideas and words
emotion and music
heart and the head
in those moments in our lives
when we feel so alone
it holds us together
and finally for the first time
i think i start to see
all the love i'll ever need
has been trapped inside of me
i'm tying up the threads
that connect us all together
and what i've finally found is
there's no other than us
i was so scared of being alone
i was ready to fall so low
then i saw another way
to go
love. where is love?
in the space between ideas and words
emotion and music
heart and the head
in those moments in our lives
when we feel so alone
it holds us together
all of you is
all of me
everything you are is
everything i hope to be
now
