Don't Read This Alone When I'm alone and my thoughts roam They seldom go to where they're told I must admit that I've tried to forget But you'd be amazed at what just slips If you've tried once, I've tried twice I just can't shake this with all my might A burden bore by most before If I could be then I'd be more I'd run away from that day When you smiled and looked my way What is in the past will never last And if I must then I'll wear this mask I'll hide me, and you'll hide you And who we are we won't let through Well I've tried this and all I get Is a moments joy and then it slips So the days will come and go And we'll both do as we're told But if you I see you again Another lifetime it will take to mend
