I've been so many places in my life and time
I've sung a lot of songs I've made some bad rhyme
I've acted out my life in stages
With ten thousand people watching
But I've been alone
and I'm playing this song for you

I know your image of me is what I hope to be
I've treated you unkindly but can't you see
oh There's no boy important to me
so Darlin' won't you please see through me
Cause I'm alone
and I'm singing this song for you

You taught me precious secrets of the truth
with holding nothing
You came out in front well baby I was hiding
But now I'm so much better
So if my words don't come together
Listen to the melody
cause my love is in there hiding

I love you in a place
where there's no space or time
I love you for my life
'cause you're the boy next door
and a friend of mine
And when my life is over
Remember (4x)

We were together
I was singing this song for you
We were alone now and I was singing this song
singing this song
'cause We were alone lone singing this song
singing this song
We were alone
and I was singing my song for you
you,you, you, you
We were alone
and I was singing our song for you
