I was 22, alone with nothing to do and I couldn't sleep 'Cause all those cold days returned with their old ways of causing New apathy I live alone, I live alone She was 21, wishing she lived by the sun, the sand and the sea So I suggested she'd move out fast and not be the last To leave and be free I live alone, I live alone I live alone, I live alone Sweet summer day I'm so afraid So take me away We were 17, longing to live in between The earth and the stars So I suggested we'd grow up fast and not be the last And look where we are With no connection I saw your reflection at home In my bedroom mirror And I felt young again when I saw what we could've been In all of those years I live alone, I live alone I live alone, I live alone
