## **Theme**

The song describes the singer living in a dangerous area and warns its listener, seemingly an ex-lover, that her world and mind are no longer safe place and that she is coming for them. Now that her heart is corrupted, she warns the listener to make sure she’s not around when they’re alone or else trouble will stir.

## **Lyrics**

**[Verse 1]**

Lying awake, awake in my bed

Blood on my hands, blood in my bed

You've left me undone, left my head

Thinking of things, things that you said

Last night I was there, wringing my hands

You were holding your head

Making like lighting, I cannot stop fighting

I think you're behind me, my mind keeps rewinding

I want to forget it, don't want to regret letting you back

Again and again

Like the ghost on my shoulder, I'll keep getting older

But I can't forget the damage you controlled

Yeah, I'll freak if you win her, I'd eat her for dinner

I'd worry if you were not scared

**[Pre-Chorus]**

Oh, oh, woah, woah, woah

**[Chorus]**

Don't ever walk alone, boy, alone, boy, alone, boy

Now you are on your own, boy, your own, boy, your own, boy

I know where you will be hiding, there's nowhere to go

Yeah, I know where you will be hiding

Don't ever walk alone, boy, alone, boy, alone, boy

'Lone, boy, 'lone, boy

**[Verse 2]**

Trying to fake, fake that I cared

You made your choice, missing the point

Ending up broken and scared

You think that I'll break, that I'm underprepared

End of the line, you're out of time

Thought you would know I don't share

You think you're the winner, don't care I'm a sinner

Remember I told you I'd eat you for dinner

So don't be a liar, I know how to find you

Said "I am not here to be friends"

There's nothing you show me that I see as holy

Those spirits can't blind me, I dare them to find me

You know I'm not shying from what I've decided

I've said it, won't say it again

**[Pre-Chorus]**

Oh, oh, woah, woah, woah

**[Chorus]**

Don't ever walk alone, boy, alone, boy, alone, boy

Now you are on your own, boy, your own, boy, your own, boy

I know where you will be hiding, there's nowhere to go

Yeah, I know where you will be hiding

Don't ever walk alone, boy, alone, boy, alone, boy

'Lone, boy, 'lone, boy

**[Bridge]**

Oh, oh, woah, woah, woah

Oh, oh, woah, woah, woah

Don't ever walk alone, boy, alone, boy, alone, boy

Now you are on your own, boy, your own, boy, your own, boy

**[Chorus]**

Don't ever walk alone, boy, alone, boy, alone, boy

Now you are on your own, boy, your own, boy, your own, boy

I know where you will be hiding, there's nowhere to go

Yeah, I know where you will be hiding

Don't ever walk alone, boy, alone, boy, alone, boy

'Lone, boy, 'lone, boy

**[Outro]**

Boy, boy, boy, alone, boy
