Alone?

[Intro] One room, one chair, my heart is blue The world found me, but I can't find you A question sits beside me in the dark: Is anybody holding the other part? [Verse 1] I know the names that fill my screen I know the places I've never been I trade a thought for a painted grin Then shut the door and fold back in The hammer clicks, the silence stays Dust gathers where the daylight lays I say I'm fine because it's quick But even I don't buy the trick If I vanish between the words I send Would anybody notice where they end? I keep asking the ceiling above: Why am I afraid of love? [Chorus] Alone? Maybe the answer changes when I call Maybe one small hand can catch my fall I was counting every empty chair Till I heard a breathing heart somewhere Alone? Not if I open what I concealed Not if I allow myself to feel All the weight I carried on my own I was never meant to be alone! [Verse 2] I pass a woman watering her plants She hums a tune and drops her hands, A neighbor holds the elevator door And suddenly my thoughts feel less like war No grand repair, no perfect sign Just borrowed warmth, a little time A paper cup, a tired smile Enough to make me stay awhile [Chorus] Alone? Maybe the answer changes when I call Maybe one small hand can catch my fall I was counting every empty chair Till I heard a breathing heart somewhere Alone? Not if I open what I concealed Not if I allow myself to feel All the weight I carried on my own I was never meant to be alone! [Bridge] I am here So are you No disguise No grand reply Just a door I choose to make If your room is closing in tonight Leave a lamp on, leave a sign Let's meet where the silence ends We can help each other to mend! [Final Chorus] Alone? The question still arrives, but now I know It can be answered softly, face to face I was counting every empty chair Now there is someone breathing there Alone? Not tonight, not while our voices join Not while broken hearts can find a point All the weight we carried on our own Can become a road that leads us home [Outro] One room, two chairs, this love is true The world found me—but I found you We are not alone
