Only When We’re Alone

Lyrics

[Verse 1] In your room, you pull me close Soft hands, slow kiss, nobody knows At your door, you change your face Like I’m just air in the hallway space You brush my arm, then you look away Same old smile, just for the shade You hold me tight when the blinds are down Then you let me sink when the crowd comes round [Pre-Chorus] So tell me why You turn to ice When eyes are on us You pay me no mind [Chorus] Only when we’re alone Only when we’re alone You love me like I’m gold Then I vanish when we’re home Only when we’re alone (only when we’re alone) Say my name when there’s no one Then you leave me in the cold [Verse 2] At the table, I’m a ghost You talk right over me the most Your hand finds mine beneath the cloth But at the party, you cut it off You laugh so loud at everyone else Then you hide me like a secret shelf I don’t need perfect, I need true Not two different versions of you [Pre-Chorus] So tell me why You lock your eyes When we’re alone But run and hide [Chorus] Only when we’re alone Only when we’re alone You love me like I’m gold Then I vanish when we’re home Only when we’re alone (only when we’re alone) Say my name when there’s no one Then you leave me in the cold [Bridge] If I’m a love you can’t hold In daylight, out in the open Then why’d you make me believe I was more than a secret you keep? [Final Chorus] Only when we’re alone Only when we’re alone You love me like I’m gold Then I vanish when we’re home Only when we’re alone (only when we’re alone) Say my name when there’s no one Then you leave me in the cold
