Alone Again
Lindsay McGuire Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's all the same
Such a shame
It all just seems so ordinary now
Are you sorry about the way it all turned out?

The silly games
Seem so strange
They all just seem so ordinary now

Are you sorry about the way it all turned out?

It's funny how it's clearer now
I feel so fine
Wipe away the teardrops from my eyes
I feel alive
Again

Stare my soul in the face as I
Often ask the question why I'm, ( Why?)
Alone again? (Why?
Nothing comes with the clouds and the rain
I remember your smile
I remember the day you went away
It was an ordinary day just like today

The silly games
Seem so strange
They all just seem so ordinary now
Are you sorry about the way it all turned out?

It's funny how it's clearer now
I feel so fine
Wiped away the teardrops from my eyes
I feel alive
Again

Stare my soul in the face as I
Often ask the question why I'm , (Why?)
Alone again? (Why?)
Nothing comes with the clouds and the rain
I remember your smile
I remember the day you went away
It was an ordinary day just like today

Stare my soul in the face as I
Often ask the question why I'm, (Why?)
Alone again? (Why?)
Nothing comes with the clouds and the rain
I remember your smile
I remember the day you went away

Stare my soul in the face as I
Often ask the question why I'm, (Why?)
Alone again? (Why?)
Nothing comes with the clouds and the rain
I remember your smile
I remember the day you went away

You went away
Away

You went away
You went away
