safe alone Lyrics

The night of the storm

We went to a show

And on the way there

You got the call

I'd never been in a car

Driving so fast

With prayers and tears flowing freer

Than I could ever recall

Her heart broke that night

As your breathing slowed

She said goodnight

The nurse said it was time to go

But where do you go

When you don't know

If you're safe alone

Wasn't the first time

That we'd been rushed through

The dim lit hallways of the ICU

Somehow she knew

As we opened the door

There would not be a you anymore

Her heart broke that night

As your breathing slowed

She said goodnight

The nurse said it was time to go

But where do you go

When you don't know

If you're safe alone

Every night from then on

Was fragile and shallow

The quiet of the unknown

Every face she passed

Knew her from the news

They said it's been too long

To be too soon

Her heart broke that night

As your breathing slowed

She said goodnight

The nurse said it was time to go

But where do you go

When you don't know

If you're safe alone

Her heart broke that night

As your breathing slowed

She said goodnight

The nurse said it was time to go

But where do you go

When you don't know

If you're safe alone
