Alone - Biting Elbows

It was the summer

She had to go

I don’t ever wanna be alone

While she was fearful for her life

She would never ever feel alive

Show no sign

You don’t care and I don’t mind

Everything that’s important to you

But I know what’s underneath

You’re holding on by the skin of your teeth

Yeah we hold on to the past

The one that couldn’t last

It was the summer

She had to go

I don’t ever wanna be alone

While she was fearful for her life

She would never ever feel alive

If I had to guess

It’s always gonna be haunting you

When you kill what you could continue

And I really tried my best

And if anything I was too protective

I will be sure to tell the detective

He’ll nod politiely and with a smile

Say that fingerprints don’t lie

It was the summer

She had to go

I don’t ever wanna be alone

While she was fearful for her life

She would never ever feel alive

In a sunny afternoon

In a dark room

Two way mirror spells out my doom

Must it be so damn tiring

I’m on all cylinders firing

Like a road far from a war zone

Minds erode, they don’t get blown

By the river that I drove her to

I heard this over and over and then I knew

I don’t ever wanna be alone

I don’t ever wanna be alone

I don’t ever wanna be alone

I don’t ever wanna be alone
