Grow Old Alone Lyrics

My parents house don't feel like it used to

Probably because I've grown a couple of inches or two

And my home town don't feel like a home no more

Just a couple of buildings without a soul

And I know It's all part of the mission

Don't expect kindness as given from everyone

But I sure try my best to

Navigate the world at twenty something

Thinking how the hell am I supposed to do this thing?

All alone and you're not here to

Show me your guidance

Fill my wisdom and

Teach me to be quiet

And when not to listen and

Teach me how to grow

And when you should just let yourself fall

Because no one wants to grow old alone

I've lost a few more friends than I'd like to

If I let the truth be said, I didn't want to hold on to

Past mistakes made without your advice

So I use your star to navigate just got to give it time

And I know It's all part of the mission

Don't expect kindness as given from everyone

But I sure try my best to

Navigate the world at twenty something

Thinking how the hell am I supposed to do this thing?

All alone and you're not here to

Show me your guidance

Fill my wisdom and

Teach me to be quiet

And when not to listen and

Teach me how to grow

And when you should just let yourself fall

Because no one wants to grow old alone

Oh and your memory will carry on inside my bones

And the life you gave in every smile of stories told

And I promise you, all that you gave won't go to waste

But it doesn't mean that somedays

I still wish you were here to

Show me your guidance

And fill my wisdom and

Teach me to be quiet

And when not to listen and

Teach me how to grow

And when you should just let yourself fall

Because no one wants to grow old

Fall because no one wants to grow old alone
