Lyrics

In this town with it's head layed down
there are lips that have felt my kiss
Some have said that they loved me
other said "just help me get thru this"

some of them i have made smile
others have said a prayer for me
others persed and sang silent
and yet others at me they did scream

So I wanna be alone tonight

Yes i hurt
but it'll make things worse
if any warmth tonight
causes you cry

So i wana be alone tonight

Some roads you choose turn out to be wrong
and ya search the ditches for allies
sometimes ya find a haggard face
hungry for a partner in crime

And I'm grateful for nearly all of those
whom held me close while I wept & moaned
And as much my misery loves company
some things we need to face alone

So I wanna be alone tonight

Yes i hurt
but it'll make things worse
if any warmth tonight
causes me to cry

Everything I've managed to build I've betrayed
When just to keep warm everything becomes ablaze
Sure it's beautiful when I see your face
Smiling and bringin buckets of water and paste

Just give me a few days
alone with my mistakes
I need to say goodbye

Just pray for me...
