Alone

You never know how much you got,
till it’s all gone,
your heart in two,
but you never knew how much it really meant to you.

After it’s gone,
you wonder why it happened.
Everything’s gone,
nothing’s left.

Now you’re alone
no one to love,
no one to care for,
except for the beating of your heart.
Your heart dying for everything to rewind,
back before they’re gone,
back before it all happened.

But there’s no rewind button for life,
you’re left alone,
you feel the faint of your heart,
you know now that you must give up.
