Heart
03. Alone Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the memories of when I knew you
And through the dim light I caught a vision
A sight of the things you used to do
I can't stop it, my heart feels like a riot
And there's nothing you can do
And when things get complicated, I feel used and jaded
Well it ended tonight in a one man ballroom fight
Bloodied knuckles bloody 'cause of you
And to this day I've got nothing to say
I keep it in till the next time I see you
I can't stop it, my heart feels like a riot
And there's nothing you can do
And when things get complicated, I feel used and jaded
Even though I'm with you
The lyrics of 03. Alone's song, Heart in 2, show the conflicting emotions of the singer towards a past lover. The song starts with the confession of regret and nostalgia for the memories of when they knew each other. The past lover is still present in the singer's life through their actions, which are just memories now. The dim light shows how the memories are not clear, yet they can still be felt.
The singer then describes their current situation of being in a relationship with the past lover. The relationship brings about a feeling of being used and jaded, despite being with the person they once loved. This shows how the singer is struggling to move on from their past with the ex-lover, and their feelings are not entirely positive towards the current relationship.
The song ends with the singer being in a "one man ballroom fight," which reveals the extent of their internal conflict. The bloody knuckles are perhaps an indication of how much the singer is hurting, and how much they have sacrificed to make the current relationship work. However, there is still nothing to say, and the singer keeps everything in until the next time they see the past lover. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the turmoil of the singer's heart and how they cannot escape the feelings they have.

[Verse 1]
I hear the ticking of the clock
I'm lying here, the room's pitch dark
I wonder where you are tonight
No answer on the telephone
And the night goes by so very slow
Oh, I hope that it won't end though
Alone
[Chorus]
'Til now, I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone?
How do I get you alone?
[Verse 2]
You don't know how long I have wanted
To touch your lips and hold you tight, oh
You don't know how long I have waited
And I was gonna tell you tonight
But the secret is still my own
And my love for you is still unknown
Alone
[Chorus]
'Til now, I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone?
How do I get you alone?
[Outro]
How do I get you alone?
How do I get you alone?
Alone, alone
