Alone We Walk

I walked the other day among the faces in the crowd Trading glances all along the way As daylight disappeared and shadows slipped away Along deserted sidewalks The streetlights guide the way I wandered without aim, fading in and out of sight And left the urban glow behind me for now I linger for a while taking in the quiet night Then realize my heartbeat is the only sound I wanted to believe That we have a second chance And I thought that you would be The one to understand Now all alone we have this sacrifice Waiting in the wings for us to fall I move now patiently I turn to face this great expanse And I felt the coldness of the night With my own hands Now all alone we have this sacrifice Waiting in the wings for us to fall Is all the loneliness a sacrifice worth living with? All alone we have to walk I found the lost highways Winding throughout the endless miles ahead I have discovered the places We're never meant to roam The streetlights drop away Surrounded now by emptiness And I know that I am now the one Who understands, I am with them now Now all alone we face this sacrifice Waiting in the wings for us to fall Is all this loneliness a sacrifice worth living with? All alone we have to walk And all alone And all alone All alone we walk
