The Fear Of Being Alone

We ordered up one more bottle of wine

You told me your story and I thought about mine

You said when you lost her you lost everything

It all started having a familiar ring

So I asked you to take me some place quiet

We wound up at the river for the rest of the night

Somewhere around the break of day

I could hear it coming from a mile away

So don’t say that word

Not the one we both heard too much

You may think you do but you don’t

It’s just the fear of being alone

Reckless hearts can clear a path

Wider than a hurricane’s aftermath

We’ve both traveled down that road

Where in the name of love anything goes

So don’t say that word

Not the one we both heard too much

You may think you do but you don’t

It’s just the fear of being alone

Like a child in the night

With no one to hold you

And tell you everthing’s gonna be all right

I must admit it’s been fun

But that’s no reason to jump the gun

If this is real time will tell

So let me bite my tongue and remind myself

Don’t say that word

Not the one we both heard too much

You may think you do but you don’t

It’s just the fear of being alone
