Lyrics

[Intro] [Verse 1] I've been so many places In my life and time I've sung a lot of songs I've made some bad rhymes I've acted out my life on stages With ten thousand people watching But we're alone now And I'm singing this song to you [Verse 2] I know your image of me Is what I hoped to be I treated you unkindly But darling, can't you see? There's no one more important to me Baby, can't you see through me? Cause we're alone now And I'm singing this song to you [Verse 3] You taught me precious secrets Of a true love while holding nothing You came out in front when I was hiding But now I'm so much better And if my words don't come together Listen to the melody 'Cuz my love is in there hiding [Interlude] [Verse 4] I love you in a place Where there's no space or time I love you for my life 'Cuz you' re a friend of mine And when my life is over Remember when we were together We were alone And I was singing this song to you [Verse 5] I love you in a place Where there's no space or time I love you for my life 'Cuz you' re a friend of mine And when my life is over Remember when we were together We were alone And I was singing this song to you We were alone And I was singing this song to you We were alone And I was singing this song Singing this song to you
