[Intro]
[Verse]
When you left - I was done
I was broken clean in two
With overflowing pockets and a well appointed empty home
Was it all for nothing dear?
Curse this wicked tongue of mine
For the hurtful words that flowed and burned as only poison can
In my mind Iâm a wreck
But on the surface Iâm the typical shell of spit and steel
Built to win and scared to be alone
Alone
[Verse]
When you left I wasnât there
I was chasing a great white whale
Of my own invention on the lash and taking on all comers
Those who tread upon my path
Those who dared to call me out
Those who said I couldnât do a thing with the hand I was dealt
All I saw was total black
All I felt was pinpricks in my pride
All I ever wanted was to win and never be alone
Alone
[Interlude]
[Bridge]
When I lay down tonight with another nameless lover
Iâll think of you despite being in the arms of another
This lesson I have learned will see me to my grave
This burden is well earned
Iâm eternally its slave
[Outro]
