Alone
The Heart Lyrics

I hear the ticking of the clock
The singer is awake, listening to the sound of the clock ticking.

I'm lying here the room's pitch dark
The singer is lying in bed in complete darkness.

I wonder where you are tonight
The singer is thinking about the person they care about and wondering where they are.

No answer on the telephone
The artist has tried calling the person they care about, but they haven't answered.

And the night goes by so very slow
The artist feels like time is moving too slow and the night is dragging on forever.

Oh, I hope that it won't end though
Despite feeling lonely and anxious, the singer doesn't want the night to end because they don't want to be alone.

'Til now I always got by on my own
Before meeting this person, the singer was able to live their life independently without needing someone else.

I never really cared until I met you
The person the artist is thinking about changed everything for them and made them care about having someone to share their life with.

And now it chills me to the bone
The thought of losing this person scares the artist to their core.

How do I get you alone?
The artist wants to be with this person but doesn't know how to make it happen.

You don't know how long I have wanted
The singer has been secretly longing for this person for a long time.

To touch your lips and hold you tight, oh
The artist imagines being close to this person and holding them.

You don't know how long I have waited
The singer has been waiting for the right moment to express their feelings to this person.

And I was going to tell you tonight
The singer had planned to confess their feelings to the person that night but something has gone wrong.

But the secret is still my own
The singer hasn't been able to reveal their true feelings yet.

And my love for you is still unknown
The person the artist cares about doesn't know how they feel about them.

Alone
The artist is feeling lonely and sad without the person they care about.
