Lyrics

[Verse 1] He said it flat Like dropping glass “I don't wanna see you Ever again” Crowd keeps walking Cars keep rolling But you just freeze Inside that sentence [Pre-Chorus] Streetlamp buzzing Phone in your hand Scroll his name Then stop again Heartbeat louder Than the traffic No one knows You’re breaking here [Chorus] Alone in the street Alone with his words in your head Mascara on your sleeve You replay everything he said You keep on waiting For footsteps coming back Alone in the dark Till they call your last cab [Verse 2] Rain on asphalt Turns to diamonds On your shoes And on your face Every promise Feels like vapor Rising up Then blown away [Pre-Chorus] Driver asking “Where you going?” You just shrug You’re not sure yet Home feels heavy Past feels holy Future’s only What you regret [Chorus] Alone in the street Alone with his words in your head Mascara on your sleeve You replay everything he said You keep on waiting For footsteps coming back Alone in the dark Till they call your last cab [Bridge] Door swings open Warm air Cold seat City humming Under your feet Tell him “Drive” But whisper “Stay” To the empty Side of your space (oh) [Chorus] Alone in the street Alone as the engine starts You watch the lights retreat Like every piece of your heart You keep on waiting For something you can't have Alone in the dark Crying in her last cab
