i last saw you at the deli on the boulevard
you breathe your cigarettes like air
you said you'd rather be alone
than face the doubt inside the great unknown
find some peace of mind out there
you're south of the city
and you say that's where you'll stay, at least a while
you say this is who you are now
but i don't recognize your heart now
i know faking it has never been your style
so how's it feel to be out on your own
like we used to sing, you're just a rolling stone
and you've made it clear that you're better off without me
and what's it like to deny how you feel
ignore all the things you once swore were real
i know you'll remember them tomorrow
your identity's not separate from the ones you love
you will never be alone
we'll become the means of finding your stability
you will never be alone
[chorus I]
i don't think if you're alone you're free
'cos i've held your love and i know you see
people give this crumbling world its worth
