Intro: Verse You were alone I saw you from that second story window No sign of Jerome He burned your would'ves right down to the cinders So why'd you go? The party's full of friends that you lost in the break up Did you think he'd show? and be impressed by a new dress and your sister's make-up? Verse You were alone Canvassing to save your reputation Sobbing to Simone About how he up & left no explanation And how you drove Out to his place to pound the door and wake the neighbors Til they yelled he ain't home Now go and get some sleep, do us a favor Break Verse You were alone Hiding from the rain in the gazebo Shivered to the bone and hoping for a taxi to retrieve you Well if you need a ride home I'm on my way up to Orinda and you can wear my coat
