Roots and Branches (Meant to Be Alone)

We lay on our backs out on the front yard Holding your right hand, I say life's been so hard The shade of the tree we planted It grew strong with roots and branches But it's just not ours anymore We build these walls high, they blend into the sky Thick skin and bones defend us from outside The way we lost it all, I think it made you strong But I don't feel that anymore I feel nothing at all, yeah, I trip and I fall Running straight into walls while you're suffering withdrawals When will I ever get a better hand? I am losing my hope and it hurts in my throat Have my back to the coast at the end of my rope Oh, will I ever be a better man? Am I meant to be alone? Am I meant to be alone? We lay on our backs on the hood of my car Holding my right hand, you point out the North Star Show me the way ahead, guide me with light I said 'Cause I can't see straight anymore Everyone left me all at once then Honestly, I couldn't even blame them I've been a shitty friend, I don't know where you went I just can't handle anymore I feel nothing at all, yeah, I trip and I fall Running straight into walls while you're suffering withdrawals When will I ever get a better hand? I am losing my hope and it hurts in my throat Have my back to the coast at the end of my rope Oh, will I ever be a better man? Am I meant to be alone? Am I meant to be alone? Am I meant to be alone? Am I meant to be alone?
