All Alone
Fun Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I fell in love with a wind-up souvenir
I bought it downtown as I was on my way to meet you
She sounds the like the songs you used to sing to put me to sleep
Now that you're gone, she's all that I've left to hold

And I feel so all alone
No one's gonna fix me when I'm broke
How do you cry with inanimate eyes?
You're never gonna smile with the way that you are

And I feel so all alone

I can't be you
I thought you might appreciate
The way that she dances
The painted look upon her face
She must have come from the sun
I want to take her through the park
Where she'd tell me I'm all that she wants
If she could even talk

I feel so all alone
No one's gonna fix me when I'm broke
How do you cry with inanimate eyes?
You're never gonna smile with the way that you are

And I feel so all alone
I feel so all alone

And she sits on my shelf
It makes me think of you
The way she carries the things that remind me of who
We used to be before we became antiques
She's a lot like you
But when I hold her too tight, I know she'll break
She just takes some glue to stay

And oI feel so all alone
No one's gonna fix me when I'm broke
How do you cry with inanimate eyes?
You're never gonna smile with the way that you are

And I feel so all alone




I feel so all alone
I feel so all alone

Line by Line Meaning

I fell in love with a wind-up souvenir
I found a toy that reminded me of you


I bought it downtown as I was on my way to meet you
I was excited to see you and wanted to show you the toy


She sounds the like the songs you used to sing to put me to sleep
The toy's music reminds me of the lullabies you sang to me


Now that you're gone, she's all that I've left to hold
Since you're not here, the toy is the only thing that reminds me of you


And I feel so all alone
I'm lonely without you


No one's gonna fix me when I'm broke
I can't count on anyone to make me feel better


How do you cry with inanimate eyes?
The toy can't express emotions, but I want to cry


You're never gonna smile with the way that you are
The toy can't change or make me happy


I can't be you
The toy can't replace you


I thought you might appreciate
I wanted to show you something special


The way that she dances
The toy's movements are captivating


The painted look upon her face
The toy's design is charming


She must have come from the sun
The toy seems like it's from a happier place


I want to take her through the park
I want to show off the toy in public


Where she'd tell me I'm all that she wants
Imagining the toy telling me it loves me fills the void of your absence


If she could even talk
But of course, the toy can't talk


And she sits on my shelf
The toy stays on display


It makes me think of you
Seeing the toy reminds me of you


The way she carries the things that remind me of who
The toy represents our past memories together


We used to be before we became antiques
We used to be young and in love, but now we're past our prime


She's a lot like you
The toy resembles your warmth


But when I hold her too tight, I know she'll break
The toy is fragile, just like memories


She just takes some glue to stay
Fixing the toy requires effort, just like repairing our relationship


And I feel so all alone
I'm still lonely without you
