Nothing ventured
Nothing gained.
So the soothsayers all say.
I don't think I believe a word.

Gonna let this chance roll by
Even though I hate to see you cry.
You're doing fine
Or so I've heard.

I'm wondering why
Did you go
And where you're at

Reflections in the window saying
Nah ? I told you so.
Won't bring you back.

I can't stand the days I wake alone.
I can't stand the days I wake alone.

Gonna fortify my wall
Won't let nothing in at all
Til the memory of you fades

If you only knew how much
I obsess over your touch
I guess I'm old school in my ways

I'm wondering why
Did you go and where at

I can't stand the days I wake alone.
I can't stand the days I wake alone.

And even though my future's falling through.
Maybe I will never find
Another one like you.

I've got to let the world just pass me by
Spinning out,
Stopping time

I'm wondering why
Did you go
And where you're at

Reflections in the window saying
Nah ? I told you so.
Won't bring you back.

I can't stand the days I wake alone.
I can't stand the days I wake alone.
