You were alone
I saw you from that second story window
No sign of Jerome
He burned your would'ves right down to the cinders
So why'd you go?
The party's full of friends that you lost in the break up
Did you think he'd show?
and be impressed by a new dress and your sister's make-up?
Verse
You were alone
Canvassing to save your reputation
Sobbing to Simone
About how he up & left no explanation
And how you drove
Out to his place to pound the door and wake the neighbors
Til they yelled he ain't home
Now go and get some sleep, do us a favor
Break
Verse
You were alone
Hiding from the rain in the gazebo
Shivered to the bone
and hoping for a taxi to retrieve you
Well if you need a ride home
I'm on my way up to Orinda
and you can wear my coat
