On “Alone”, backed by mellower guitar riffs and smooth instrumentals, Brian Burkheiser is left in the dust of a bitter break-up and betrayal by someone he used to love.
[Verse 1: Brian Burkheiser]
We used to have it all
It was us against the world, but now
I've been sleeping on my own
Spending all these nights alone, knowing you're not coming home
[Pre-Chorus: Brian Burkheiser]
'Cause you're running through my dreams
It's like you're on repeat
Feels like eternity
And I can't believe
[Chorus: Brian Burkheiser]
I let you in, you left me out
You left me on my own, you left me all alone
I let you in, you bled me out
You left me skin and bone, you left me all alone
[Post-Chorus: Brian Burkheiser]
You left me all alone
[Verse 2: Brian Burkheiser]
I would've gave it all
Truth be told, I can't believe you're gone
Like a dream, I can't recall
Now I gotta face the fact that you're never coming back
[Pre-Chorus: Brian Burkheiser]
'Cause you're running through my dreams
It's like you're on repeat
Feels like eternity
And I can't believe
[Chorus: Brian Burkheiser]
I let you in, you left me out
You left me on my own, you left me all alone
I let you in, you bled me out
You left me skin and bone, you left me all alone
You used to run, run through my veins
And to be honest, I know I'll never be the same
I let you in, you left me out
You left me on my own, you left me all alone
[Post-Chorus: Brian Burkheiser]
You left me all alone
[Bridge: Brian Burkheiser]
I see you in my dreams, I can't believe you're gone
When it's too dark to see, I'll leave the light on
I'll leave the light on, I'll leave the light on
When it's too dark to see
[Chorus: Brian Burkheiser]
I let you in, you left me out
You left me on my own, you left me all alone
I let you in, you bled me out
You left me skin and bone, you left me all alone
You used to run, run through my veins
And to be honest, I know I'll never be the same
I let you in, you left me out
You left me on my own, you left me all alone
