Song: Alone by Heart
--------------------
I hear the ticking of the clock
I'm lying here the room's pitch dark
I can't sleep. I finally finished with Josie but that isn't what is keeping me up. I thought I could cope but I can't.
I wonder where you are tonight
No answer on the telephone
I need to be with Jimmy, and not just as friends.
And the night goes by so very slow
Oh I hope that it won't end though
Alone
I try to shut my eyes and shut out the pain of unrequited love but it is no use - I'm a goner.
Till now I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
I never did - no girl was ever enough, but Jimmy was. He can make me feel great, pick me up when I am down, be by my side when I need him and fill me with the feeling of love even when he hasn't really done anything.
I love him.
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone
How do I tell him? I know I shouldn't, we agreed to never speak of it.
You don't know how long I have wanted
To touch your lips and hold you tight, oh
Every time I see him, I have to hold myself back and stop myself from grabbing him and kissing him. Maybe if we kiss, he won't be able to stop himself and something can finally happen. Stupid idea I know. I could lose everything.
You don't know how long I have waited
And I was gonna tell you tonight
I nearly told him tonight, but he brought Jessie along with him thinking we were on a double date again. I had to go through the palaver of telling them that I let Josie go. I thought I saw something in his eyes when I told them, but within an instant he was laughing and joking with Jessie like nothing had happened.
But the secret is still my own
And my love for you is still unknown
Alone
All night I ponder ways of telling him but when I finally fall asleep, the decision has not been made any clearer.
Till now I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone
