[Verse 1]
Is it the withering of tired leaves
All so neatly woven around that laurel wreath?
Or the collapsing of a history
Of victories getting lapped now by all my towering defeats?
To be a champion in your eyes
Someone that you might be proud to stand beside
But I bribed the judge and poisoned the field
Medals and trophies are only all that I could steal
[Pre-Chorus]
But you found me in the morning, December in my eyes
Falling apart, bloodshot, outside Craigmaddie Hospital
As you fly by on the 93, what are the odds?
I don't know, impossible
Got your call, I needed it more than I could let on to you
I could let on to anyone
Could hear it in the corners of all of my words
In the silence, you heard all that's unspoken
[Chorus]
You don't have to be lonely alone
I could be there in a heartbeat
Lonely alone
You don't have to be lonely alone
I could be there in a heartbeat
Lonely alone
[Verse 2]
As all my statues start crumbling
I don't really know what it is that I'm offering
And all I've got here is raining leaves
All once so neatly woven around that laurel wreath
[Pre-Chorus]
But you found me in the morning, December in my eyes
Falling apart, bloodshot, outside Craigmaddie Hospital
As you fly by on the 93, what are the odds?
I don't know, impossible
Got your call, I needed it more than I could let on to you
I could let on to anyone
Could hear it in the corners of all of my words
In the silence, you heard all that's unspoken
[Chorus]
You don't have to be lonely alone
I could be there in a heartbeat
Lonely alone
You don't have to be lonely alone
I could be there in a heartbeat
Lonely alone, lonely alone
[Interlude]
[Chorus]
You don't have to be lonely alone
I could be there in a heartbeat
Lonely alone
You don't have to be lonely alone
I could be there in a heartbeat
Lonely alone, lonely alone
