[Intro]
Don't be surprised if it hurts you
I don't think I'm the one that you cling to when you can't handle it
And now they've got you surrounded
Well I've found it
I'm on my own

[Verse]
And now they're telling me the life that I want was less important than the role that I'm playing
Yeah, they'll take away the things that I have 'cause on me it's just wasted
And these days I'm alone, alone
I know you can't recover this
It's just a shame to waste away
Well you can waste away
Recoil the rope as you spew silent notes and my bones will splinter from the fall
I will recall with a smile on my face
I am a stranger
I cut ties
It's not a problem
It's a solution
Am I a fool to you
Postured so innocent so it would seem
You cut off the head of your own reflection
You cut off the head of it

[Outro]
These days I'm alone, alone
These days I'm alone, alone
For the first time I see myself
Cutting my ties I'm finally free
Not strung along by my innocence
Well that didn't make sense to me
These days I'm alone, alone
I know you can't recover this
It's just a shame that way
These days I'm alone, alone
I know you can't recover this
It's just a shame
