alone - Autumn Keys

I know you saw me try to live my life standing in the way, felt like every

single day

I know you’re sorry, pass me a little wave

I know you thought we’d be laughing at middle age

I know you thought you could snap off your brittle bone

I know you thought I’d get trapped in a mental home

With a laughable bit of home and a scrap little bit of hope

And I sat with a length of rope and attached it around my throat

But fuck that, I am not gonna be another cog in the machine!

Gonna be my own man

Gonna stand and follow my dreams

I’m not a headcase but I’m headstrong so it seems

I’m old faithful, I’m so thankful for all the smiles that I’ve seen, yeah

I’m alone, I’m alone, I’m alone again
