For Once Lyrics

I know you're not feeling too well

The walls of this home are an empty shell

Cause summer's over, and you're not here

I've struck the end of an awful year

And I know this feeling too well

There's no hope now outside my window

So I'll just blur my eyes

And dream of blue skies, dream of blue skies

For once in my life I will be alone

(Alone)

And I've learned I do better on my own

(My own)

I remember how the world's rarely kind

When I focus on keeping a level mind

A reminder of transparent people I knew

Is that your idea of a good view?

And the cracks in the crimson tinted walls

Provide an exit to the halls

Where I can sleep below a streetlight

Waiting for the end of a cold autumn night

And for once in my life I will be alone

(Alone)

And I've learned I do better on my own

(My own)

The linoleum floor is so cold like before

The future was written, I'm not sure anymore

For once in my life I will be alone

(Alone)

And I've learned I do better on my own

(My own)

I spent my energy climbing up the stairs

(And I'm aware)

Now I can't shake my blacklit nightmares

(But I'm not scared)
