Song Description

I wrote the song from personal experience of living alone, of wanting someone in your life to share your love with.

Lyrics

When You Live Alone
Written by Paul Carney

I said: 'good riddance to you'
When you walked out the door
But this place is so cold,
Now you don't live here anymore
I cook dinner for one,
but I eat for two,
I spend hours in chat rooms trying to replace you,
But my heart has to dote,
on the TV remote,
Now I live, now I live alone


I watch young lovers with a sense of dread,
I leave the bathroom light on,
and I sprawl out in bed,
I can call up the boys,
stay out all night,
I don't care if I'm drunk,
or who I sleep with tonight
But I sit here alone,
and stare at the phone
Now I live, now I live alone


Some people say that I talk to myself,
That I'm falling apart at the seams,
But that isn't quite right,
For when I turn out the light,
I'm just holding you close in my dreams

When you live alone,
when you live alone,
You need hope when you live alone
