[Verse 1]
You say you're sorry and you’re leaving
Don't think we'll work out
And it’s just a feeling
I say hey baby don't you worry
Just want you happy
And if it's not me then
[Pre-Chrorus]
You can go on your way
I'd never force you to stay
But I'm so far from ok
Yeah
[Chorus]
Oh oh
Let's be alone together
Oh
Can we be alone together?
You can go off on your own
I'll love you whether I'm
All alone
But we’re alone together
[Verse 2]
You tell yourself this is the right thing
Oh yes you miss me
And you’re so damn lonely
But you don't come back in the morning
I fall asleep
Dreaming that you hold me
[Pre-Chrorus]
But you don’t reach out again
And I'm just here wondering
How long were you pretending?
[Chorus]
Oh oh
Let's be alone together
Oh
Can we be alone together?
You can go off on your own
I'll love you whether I’m
All alone
But we're alone together
[Chorus]
Oh oh
Let's be alone together
Oh
Can we be alone together?
You can go off on your own
I'll love you whether I'm
All alone
But we're alone together
[Chorus]
Oh oh
Let's be alone together
Oh
Can we be alone together?
You can go off on your own
I'll love you whether I'm
All alone
But we're alone together
[Chorus]
Oh oh
Let's be alone together
Oh
Can we be alone together?
You can go off on your own
I'll love you whether I'm
All alone
But we're alone together
