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

R: 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

R:

Like a child in the night

With no one to hold you

And tell you everything'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
