Lyrics

We’re born alone, we die alone,

hope alone, cry alone.

I’ve wandered through these rooms alone;

slept alone, dreamed alone.

The loneliest time I’ve ever known

was when I was with you.



I remember how it felt

when I no longer knew myself.

How could I give myself away

the way I did to make you stay?

The loneliest I’ve ever been

was when I was with you.



If I mentioned my desire

how quickly you’d put out the fire.

Hate to think of how I’ve been;

glad I’m not who I was then.



Now I go out all alone

and I come home all alone.

I live alone, I’ll die alone.

It’s not the worst thing I have known.

It’s better than being alone with you.

The loneliest time I ever knew

was when I was with you
