I am remembering
The sighs and the whispers
Of a thousand days
Hiding from the sun
You looked so beautiful
Stripped of your disguise
Nothing but see through on

Oh no
I never should have let you go
But until it’s done you can never truly know
How it feels to be alone
It’s hard to be alone
Those days are gone
Both ends against the middle
A democracy of one
Those days are gone

My friend
A democracy of one is never wrong
We’ve given up
Looking at each other
We’re just hanging on for survival
We got caught up
In gaining ground
Just trying to make a bigger island
More room for the lonesome
Where I stand

This war’s not to be won
By anyone
I never should have let you go
But until it’s done you can never truly know
How it feels to be alone
It’s hard to be alone
Those days are gone
Both ends against the middle
