I used to be alone
I used to take the subway home
Lie in my apartment
Staring at my phone
I used to be alone
Made tea with the TV on
Hiding from the silence
Heavy like a stone

I used to be alone
I met you on the basement floor
Laughing over nothin'
Flowers in your hair
We walked until the dawn
Broke behind a wall of clouds
High above Manhattan
Still haven't come down

I love you
Like there's no tomorrow
Time always borrowed
It's not our to keep
I'll hold you
Like I'm gonna lose you
Like I've never had you
In my arms

I used to be alone
I used to be alone

I used to be alone
I met you on the basement floor
High above Manhattan
I still haven't come down
