I Feel So Alone (Near You)

It said you love
with every shiny hair
so I decided that I love you everywhere,
and in the dusk
we waltz in autumn shades
and the illusion of your presence slowly fades

and I feel so alone
near you.
I always feel alone
near you.

Like distant birds
your eyes are hollow youth,
and in the silence of your comfort I see truth.
And we still kiss,
and say a pre-set phrase
but there is something not quite right within your gaze

and I feel so alone
near you.
I always feel alone
near you.

(solo)

I said goodbye
as if in feigned regret
and I will try hard to remember to forget.
It said you love
with every sun-locked hair
and I still hold love in my head but you're not there

because I felt alone
near you
I always felt alone
near you.
