When I’m Alone – Carbon Leaf – letras

I opened up the music boxI wish you would have changed the locksTo keep me from replayingAll the feelings I’ve been savingI did not keep them locked up insideI did not take my steps in strideThought you were bluffing, trampled on youWent from friends to nothingRadio turns to goldAnd paves the wayTo find my homeWhen I’m aloneOvereager and underwayI risked it all, I had to sayWhat opened me up for the beatingBut the heart is for bleedingWith scraps of songs I paste alongThe seams of my clumsy tongueIn hopes of creating the golden notesThat might bring you back to meRadio turns to goldAnd paves the wayTo find my homeWhen I’m aloneLike phantoms on the highwayAfter holiday, gritting their teethRacing to find a place for their soulOr at least a place… that’s less familiarWe offer up our heart beforeThe heart’s invited or asked forOh no, here I go my friend, I’m repeatingBut the heart is for bleeding…And I’ve said all I can sayI am retreating, on my wayMusic box, play my song I’ll sing alongTo that bitterly sweet toneWhen I’m alone…
