Lyrics Alone - Biting Elbows

Alone

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
