Alone

You never know who to trust

And you’d never tell a soul 

But you’re bones, they feel like dust 

Love’s taken its crushing toll

There’s always someone to break

Someone willing to hurt you 

You don’t want your knees to shake 

And you swear it isn’t true

But you cry all alone tonight     

There’s no one here to tell you lies

Trying hard to perfect the sight

Of just a translucent disguise
