I Don't Want to Be Alone
The night is quiet, but my heart’s too loud,
Thinking of you in every crowd.
I reach for words I’ve left unsaid,
Wishing you were here instead.
I tell myself I’m doing fine,
But silence draws your name in mine.
Each minute drips like falling rain,
I’m drowning in this quiet pain.
I don’t want to be alone tonight,
Don’t want to lose your fading light.
I still believe in what we’ve known,
'Cause love like this can’t stand alone.
No, I don’t want to be… alone.
I hold your picture near my chest,
Dreaming of your soft caress.
If I could turn the hands of time,
I’d go back when you were mine.
Maybe love still lives in you somewhere,
Maybe you still whisper me in prayer…
But I can’t wait in shadows long—
Just say the word, and I’ll be strong.
I don’t want to be alone tonight,
Don’t want to lose your fading light.
I still believe in what we’ve known,
'Cause love like this can’t stand alone.
No, I don’t want to be… alone…
Come back home.
