For Richardson, making records requires a delicate balance of soul, rock, and R&B. While growing up the son of a military dad in Virginia Beach, he immersed himself in everything from Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder to The Eagles and Aerosmith. Along the way - from singing into his trash can at five-years-old to auditioning on Idol at 23 - Richardson built his own style. He sums up the sound best saying, "It's blue-eyed soul, but there's an organic feel to the music. I love to mix the soulful and rock sides."
That mix comes with potent and poignant lyrics that Richardson considers a hallmark of his style. It's easy to hear in the new material, which will comprise his forthcoming solo offering. "The [upcoming] album covers a whole different mesh of times in my life. In the lyrics, I'm honestly exploring all of these situations. Now, I get the chance to blend everything together and put it out there."
Entering the Cash Money Records family, he has come to create and push boundaries by collaborating with a myriad of artists. He exclaims, "Cash Money allow me to spread my wings and do what comes naturally for me. They support everything that I do. It's a breath of fresh air, and I feel like I'm blessed at this moment." www.ChrisRichardsonMusic.com
All alone
Chris Richardson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I guess I was wrong (wrong, wrong)
Gave you a piece of my heart
Then you turn around and you're gone
Now what you think I wouldn't find out?
Why don't you tell me what that's all about?
I'm not about your crying, girl
Over all the lies, now the walls have fallen down
Tried too many times
Now I hope you see what you've done... to me
No more love in this happy home
Say goodbye and just carry on
Write it down for the next one
So they will know
I watch the sunrise
Way too many times
Without you by my side
Cause I can't even lie
All alone
All alone
All alone
All alone
I thought about how it could have been
Remembering the days we shared
Looking back on all the memories
And when you acted like you cared
It took a second just to figure it out
And I can see the rain is falling down
I've been stuck in the middle though
It took too long for me to come around
Said all my goodbyes
Tried too many times
Now I hope you see what you've done... to me
No more love in this happy home
Say goodbye and just carry on
Write it down for the next one
So they will know
I watch the sunrise
Way too many times
Without you by my side
Cause I can't even lie
All alone
All alone
All alone
All alone
Now the love is gone
And you're feeling all alone
Now the love is gone
And you're feeling all alone (alone)
Now the love is gone
And you're feeling all alone
Now the love is gone
And you're feeling all alone (alone)
No more love in this happy home
Say goodbye and just carry on (carry on, carry on)
Write it down for the next one (for the next one)
So they will know
I watch the sunrise (watch the sunrise)
Way too many times (way too many times)
Without you by my side (without you by my side)
Cause I can't even lie ('cause I can't even lie)
All alone
All alone (all alone)
All alone
All alone (all alone)
No more love in this happy home
Say goodbye and just carry on
Write it down for the next one
So they will know
I watch the sunrise
Way too many times
Without you by my side
Cause I can't even lie
All alone (all alone)
All alone (all alone)
All alone (all alone)
Ooh
Yeah
Don't even think about you now
Don't have any sympathy for you girl
I don't need your run-a-round
You ain't no good for me (good for me)
Now you're all alone (alone)
Now you're all alone
Now you're all alone (alone)
The lyrics to Chris Richardson's song "All Alone" are about a failed relationship and the feelings of betrayal and loneliness that come with it. The singer believed that everything was planned out between him and his partner, but it didn't work out. He gave her his heart, but she left him, leaving him to try to figure out what went wrong. He feels hurt and confused at the breakup, but can't continue to cry over the lies that he's just discovered. He looks back on the memories of their time together, but it's clear that he's done trying to fix things. He knows that there's no more love in their happy home, and he's left alone to deal with the pain of the breakup.
The song's lyrics capture the various stages of a breakup, from initial shock to anger and then eventually acceptance. The repetitiveness of the "All alone" refrain emphasizes the feelings of isolation and loneliness that the singer is experiencing. The lyrics provide a relatable message about feeling hurt and alone after a relationship ends, which is why the song has connected with many listeners.
Line by Line Meaning
I thought we had it all planned
I believed we had figured everything out
But I guess I was wrong (wrong, wrong)
But it seems like I was mistaken
Gave you a piece of my heart
I gave you some of my love and affection
Then you turn around and you're gone
But now you have left me suddenly
Now what you think I wouldn't find out?
Did you think I wouldn't discover the truth?
Why don't you tell me what that's all about?
Why don't you explain the reason for your actions?
I'm not about your crying, girl
I don't want to deal with your tears and sadness
Over all the lies, now the walls have fallen down
Because of your deceit, our relationship has crumbled
Said all my goodbyes
I have already told you farewell
Tried too many times
I attempted to fix our relationship on numerous occasions
Now I hope you see what you've done... to me
I hope you realize the damage you have caused me
No more love in this happy home
Our once joyful dwelling is now void of love
Say goodbye and just carry on
Let's say farewell and move forward
Write it down for the next one
Document the lessons learned for the next person
So they will know
So they can understand and not experience the same fate
I watch the sunrise
I have witnessed many sunrises
Way too many times
Far too many occurrences
Without you by my side
Without your company and companionship
Cause I can't even lie
Because I cannot fake my feelings
All alone
Completely isolated
Now the love is gone
Now our affection for each other has vanished
And you're feeling all alone
And now you feel completely separated
Don't have any sympathy for you girl
I don't feel pity for you
I don't need your run-a-round
I don't require your excuses and avoidance
You ain't no good for me (good for me)
You are detrimental to my well-being
Now you're all alone (alone)
Now you are completely isolated
