College Tales

I'm Alone

I'm alone, but it's okay.

I'm alone, but it's a safer place

Than being stuck outside in a place

Full of sad things and broken dreams.

I'm alone, but it's okay

'Cuz I'm fine just being in my head.

To know of the mistakes,

The faults, the heart-stopping moments

Of life as I have come to know them

Has made me more aware of the danger

Of leaving my safe space.

To open up to people,

To look into the eyes of the hopefull,

Yet broken, dreamer

Is something I have never gotten over.

I'm alone, but it's been my choice.

I'm alone, but maybe it isn't my choice.

Separating myself from people

Maybe isn't my best choice,

But it may be the safest.

Being alone is sad,

But being alone

In a room full of people is worse.

To dream of friends,

Of laughter, and sad times

Has been something I have seen

In ev'ry glossed-over eye.

To be wanted,

And yet somehow discarded,

Is how I've begun to feel.

I'm alone, but it's not okay.

I'm alone, but I can't change this way

'Cuz tomorrow may be too late

And yesterday already came.

It's a never ending cycle

That I pray someone can break

So the dreamers who have lost their way

Can be redeemed and be able to live another day.

I'm alone, and I want it to change.

I'm alone, but I can't escape.

To escape would mean to fight,

And to fight would mean

I'd have to admit all the things

That I can't even face in a mirror.

To live would be wonderful,

But to live in fear is what

I have been doing.

I'm alone, and I'm begging for help.

I'm alone, and I need your help

To find all the ones like me,

Like you possibly,

To save our souls from

Eternal loneliness.

I'm alone, but you don't have to be.

I'm alone, but maybe one day we'll meet.
