Sadness sadness
Sadness sadness
Such a heavy [bad word] down
Rose petals on the wet cement 
They drifted then they drowned
They drifted then they drowned

Nobody wants to be alone nobody wants to die
Nobody wants to be alone nobody wants to die
 
I called you corn silk and I called you sugar cane
Smoke your cigarettes in the freezing rain
Huddled up like penguins with all the other 
Skinny things
But I remember your eyes in the night – 
They were blazing – and I was so hungry for you

That’s right

Nobody wants to be alone…..
 
In the beauty of the lilies you were born out by the sea
With a pain in your heart that enraptured me
And I still can’t believe I didn’t save you
And you still can’t believe you didn’t save me
And I still can’t believe I didn’t save you
And you still can’t believe you didn’t save me

Nobody wants to be alone….
 
There are syllables and there are stances
For every [bad word] up and lost chance
But fear is an exploding atom burst
And your heart is not a universe
It’s a small room in the winter babe
With a twin bed and a space heater babe
In the middle of cold December yeah
But still with the dream of summer yeah

Nobody wants to be alone…..
