alone in a room lyrics – asking alexandria

i’ve been away, a little while, sometimes i just can’t help myself
when my mind’s running wild, i seem to lose grip on reality
and i try to disregard the crazy things the voices tell me to do, but it’s no use
i tried to own it, write songs about it
believe me i tried, in the end i needed to breathe
find inspiration, some kind of purpose
to take a second to face the shit that makes me, me

all i needed was the last thing i wanted
to sit alone in a room and say it all out loud
every moment, every second, every trespass
every awful thing, every broken dream
a couple years back and forth with myself in a cage
banging my head against the wall tryna put words on a page
all i needed was the last thing i wanted
to sit alone in a room, alone in a room

i saw the world a couple times, tried to cure the ache with absence
but that hole was still a hole and my mind kept playing tricks on me
feeling older every day, took everything
i had to not crash and burn, but i’m starting to learn

sometimes i’ll fall down, sometimes i’ll lose hope
but those days will be few if i keep my feet on the ground
i might be lonely, but i ain’t alone here
so i keep pushing the limits of what makes me

all i needed was the last thing i wanted
to sit alone in a room and say it all out loud
every moment, every second, every trespass
every awful thing, every broken dream
a couple years back and forth with myself in a cage
banging my head against the wall tryna put words on a page
all i needed was the last thing i wanted
to sit alone in a room, alone in a room
i can be better than i was
i can be better than i am

all i needed was the last thing i wanted
to sit alone in a room and say it all out loud
every moment, every second, every trespass
every awful thing, every broken dream
a couple years back and forth with myself in a cage
banging my head against the wall tryna put words on a page
all i needed was the last thing i wanted
to sit alone in a room, alone in a room…
