You keep your past hidden in a backroom
Where you haggle with your demons and ghosts
Still you pray that they'll never leave you
Because that's what you fear the most
But you won't be the one left alone
You lock your present outside in the cold
You seek shelter from its storm
And as you freeze this world out
You hope the bridges you burn keep you warm
But you won't be the one left alone
I know that yesterday was prologue
And today points to the unknown
I know when the sun rises tomorrow
I will be the one left alone
You see the future in the abstract
For it must be a distant dream
It's like some kind of mythical creature
To be believed but never seen
But you won't be the one left alone
