Biting Elbows

Lyrics to 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 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 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 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 it over and over and 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
