When I'm Alone

I opened up the music box
 I wish you would have changed the locks
 To keep me from replaying
 All the feelings I've been saving
 I did not keep them locked inside
 I did not take my steps in stride
 Thought you were bluffing, trampled on you
 Went from friends to nothing
 Radio turns to gold
 And paves the way to find my home
 When I'm alone
 When I'm alone
 Overeager and underway
 I risked it all, I had to say
 What opened me up for the beating
 But the heart is for bleeding
 With scraps of songs I paste along
 The seams of my clumsy tongue
 In hopes of creating the golden notes
 That might bring you back to me
 Radio turns to gold
 And paves the way to find my home
 When I'm alone
 When I'm alone
 Like phantoms on the highway
 After holiday, gritting their teeth
 Racing to find a place for their soul
 Or at least a place that's less familiar
 We offer up our heart before
 The heart's invited or asked for
 Oh no, here I go my friend, I'm repeating
 But the heart is for bleeding
 And I've said all I can say
 I am retreating, on my way
 Music box, play my song I'll sing along
 To that bitterly sweet tone (radio turns to gold)
 When I'm alone (radio turns to gold, radio turns to gold)
 When I'm alone (radio turns to gold, radio turns to gold)
 When I'm alone (radio turns to gold, radio turns to gold)
 When I'm alone (radio turns to gold, turns to gold, turns to gold)
