lyrics

For so long
You were closer than anyone could be
So real, so strong
You were the star of my waking dream

Everything I was
Everything I wanted
An angel drifted down from the sky
But you didn’t want to save me
And when your heart departed
I was left with me, myself and I

Never really knew who I was
‘Til I spent some precious time on my own
Never knew who I could become
‘Til I learned how to be alone
How to be alone

Those were days
Filled with anything but introspection
I had my ways
Of avoiding my own detection

You were everything to me
My identity
Loving you was where I could hide
Seemed like the safest place
Where I didn’t have to face
Me, myself, and I

Never really knew who I was
‘Til I spent some precious time on my own
Never knew who I could become
‘Til I learned how to be alone
How to be alone

Joy’s a moving target
Gotta keep your aim straight and true
The biggest thing, I put in my way
Was you with me and me with you
And that’s a hard-won truth.

Never really knew who I was
‘Til I spent some precious time on my own
Never knew who I could become
‘Til I learned how to be alone
How to be alone
