Lyrics:
I'm in the corner, sipping on the only friend that's true
looking over to the people, wondering what I should do
should I go say hi? Would it matter if I did?
I feel like I'm in junior high, a stupid little kid

I finish my drink again, this time I'm alone
I don't even care if people throw a bone
I'm here in my music, my safe place
it's magic. it's my saving grace

Chorus:
Alone again, in the dark
wishing for the spark
to light my soul
the drink takes it toll
but it's never spoken
I'm just broken


I'm at the bar again, waving the waitress down
knowing what kind of place this is
They know me by name, the give me a glass
and it's all the same, the smile is a mask

Down one, two then four
Now the barman refuses to give me more
I say "fine" and I stumble out
and people still can't figure out

that im CHORUS

I see the smile, and it warms my heart
I grin, just before my soul is ripped apart
I close the window down, can't look at it anymore
it just make my mind and my eyes sore

I'm all out of tears for tonight
I'm so tired, there's no more fight
I lay my head down, with a sigh
and I look up at the sky

and I say
Alone again, in the dark
wishing for you
to light my soul
the drink takes it toll
but it's never spoken
I'm just broken
