All Alone

Met her where the freeway bends

Said she’s done with making amends

Eyes like glass and shaky hands

Didn’t ask what she was on

All alone

Minibar halfway bare

He opened the blinds to the city glare

Called the front desk, no one there

Laid back down and dried the bottle to the bone

All alone

We smile, we fake and dance

We scroll, we drink, romance

We say we're fine

All alone

She flinched each time he raised his voice

He checked her phone, went out with the boys

Told herself she had no choice

Better this, she thought, than sleeping alone

All alone

Waited by the candlelight

Refreshed the screen to check it right

Two drinks down and still no sight

He paid the bill and walked home

All alone

We laugh, we joke, we pose 

We drink, we text, we ghost

We say we're fine

All alone

The photo frames all faced the sun

The nurse said breakfast time was done

He looked but couldn’t name someone

He whispered, while staring out of the window, a song

All alone

We break, we beg, we try

We fall, we shout, we lie

We say we’re fine 

All alone

We stare, we sit, we wait

We dream, then wait on faith

We say we're fine

All alone
