You and You Alone

from Hot Love by buttercup

lyrics

“you and you alone” (reyes)

isn't it a shame
can't get in the game
even when the rules are bent
you give your turn away
and no one is to blame

unless there's a
mirror there to force
your weary eyes to close
so you don't have to bear
the life that you have chosen
and even though you tried
not to hurt a soul
you only save the pain
for you and you alone

isn't that the way
your sadness seems to stay
it takes ahold of every bit
of hope you might have saved
and no one is to blame

unless there's a
door that you can close
and rest against within
away from everything
just like a second skin
and even though you tried
not to hurt a soul
you only saved the hate
for you and you alone

aren't you the best you can be?
or are you someone like me?
who can't feel a thing
whose arms reach to hold
who saved all their love
for you and you alone

wasn't there a day
when you could safely say
that you were part of everything
without a role to play
now all you feel is blame

for everyone whose life you touched
to only run away
to hide there in the dark
and think that that's the way
to cope with what seems now
the only place you'll know
the burden and the pain
of you and you alone

and even though you tried
not to hurt a soul
you only saved the pain
for you and you alone
