This Step Alone

It's takin' it's toll girl

This silence is cold

We're stuck at a dead end

I'm startin' to wonder

Did I say something wrong?

I keep askin' the question

Will you turn around and come with me?

Or should I read the signs and leave and let you be?

Now I'm standin' at this roadblock

And there's no way around it

I've been waitin' for your mind to change

Cuz I feel so one sided

I saw us break

I watched us fall

It made no sense to me at all

You say that you will

But then you don't

So I'm gonna take this step alone

In my heart of hearts

I always knew

This jump was way too far for you

You say that you will

But then you don't

So I'm gonna take this step

I'm gonna take this step alone, alone

So give me a reason

Why you're on the outside

When you should be in

When we'll get together

So maybe it's better

I walk alone but you'll always be near

Now there's no room for settlin'

I gotta do this, I need to

But this mirror I'm lookin' in

There's no reflection without you

Cuz I saw us break

I watched us fall

It made no sense to me at all

You say that you will

But then you don't

So I'm gonna take this step alone

In my heart of hearts

I always knew

This jump was way too far for you

You say that you will

But then you don't

So I'm gonna take this step

I'm gonna take this step alone

The sanctity I found deep in your arms

It was a false alarm and it burns yeah it hurts

I lie awake at night and think of what we could have been if it worked

Then we chose to go our separate ways instead of meeting each other halfway

And If I had to choose girl, I'd have you by my side

I saw us break

I watched us fall

It made no sense to me at all

You say that you will

But then you don't

So I'm gonna take this step alone

In my heart of hearts

I always knew

This jump was way too far for you

You say that you will

But then you don't

So I'm gonna take this step

I'm gonna take this step alone, alone, alone

I'm gonna take this step alone, all alone
