lyrics

She lived on in a world of her own
People around her, but somehow alone
She came home, found a note on the door
"We don't want you anymore.
"We don't love you anymore."

Her key didn't work, they'd locked her out
And then skipped town

One single tear ran down her face
Cigarette smoke left her in a haze
Left her in a haze
Now she's really alone
Truly alone
Alone

How was it then before I came along?
I don't want to be strong, is that so wrong?
The cloud of dust messing with her head
Made her want to be dead
Maybe better off dead

If no one would care if she wasn't there
Then why shouldn't she leave

One single tear ran down her face
Cigarette smoke left her in a haze
Left her in a haze
Now she's really alone
Truly alone
Alone

She'd known it all, all along
It wasn't her fault it all went wrong
If no one would care if she wasn't there
Then why shouldn't she leave

One single tear ran down her face
Cigarette smoke left her in a haze
Left her in a haze
Now she's really alone
Truly alone
Alone
