It’s a dark road
On the other side
Don’t you see I’m alone without you
All the walls started coming down
Can’t you see I’m alone without you

Spent an eternity
Missing what used to be
I hope you remember me at night
Love has forsaken me
The day you abandoned me
Say you remember me this time

'Cause I'm alone
I'm alone
I'm alone
Without you
'Cause I'm alone
I'm alone
I'm alone
Without you

Black coal burning on the ground
Rescue me I'm alone without you
It’s a cattle call of certain emotions
It seems to me I'm alone without you

Spent an eternity
Missing what used to be
I hope you remember me at night
Love has forsaken me
The day you abandoned me
Say you remember me this time

'Cause I'm alone
I'm alone
I'm alone
Without you
'Cause I'm alone
I'm alone
I'm alone
Without you

Was it already over
Before the end
Did the door start to close
Once we began
But did you let go
Couldn’t take this tug of war
No more, no more

'Cause I'm alone
I'm alone
I'm alone
Without you
'Cause I'm alone
I'm alone
I'm alone
Without you

'Cause I'm alone
I'm alone
I'm alone
Without you
'Cause I'm alone
I'm alone
I'm alone
Without you

Without you
Without you
Without you
Without you
