The Fear Of Being Alone

(walt aldridge, bruce miller) We ordered up one more bottle of wine You told me your story and I thought about mine You said when you lost her you lost everything It all started having a familiar ring So I asked you to take me some place quiet We wound up at the river for the rest of the night Somewhere around the break of day I could hear it coming from a mile away Chorus: So don't say that word Not the one we both heard too much You may think you do but you don't It's just the fear of being alone Reckless hearts can clear a path Wider than a hurricane's aftermath We've both traveled down that road Where in the name of love anything goes Like a child in the night With no one to hold you And tell you everything's gonna be all right I must admit it's been fun But that's no reason to jump the gun If this is real time will tell So let me bite my tongue and remind myself
