  • I picked you up from the corner store
    Your eyes were red and your lips were torn
    So much to say, that's subject-sore
    So much you'd change since you were born
    You wrapped your fingers around my neck
    And pulled me into your desperate breath
    The way you kissed me hot and fast
    I knew it'd be the last

    Don't leave me hanging alone again
    Don't leave me hanging alone again
    Oh, where'd you go, go? Alley Rose
    Oh, where'd you go, go, go?

    You told me, "I'm just so nervous, dear"
    Well, how the hell do you think I feel?
    I waited all year at your feet
    Like maybe you'd love me

    So, don't leave me hanging alone again
    Don't leave me hanging alone again
    Oh, where'd you go, go? Alley Rose
    Oh, where'd you go, go, go?

    And I don't even care if it makes me sound insane
    I ran my fingers through your hair
    And I thanked God to touch the flame
    'Cause I swore necks were made for bruisin'
    I swore lips were made for lies
    And I thought if you'd ever leave me
    That I'd be the reason why
    And I don't even care if it's just a summer fling
    If it's all experimental and you go back to safer things
    But I swore hands were made for fighting
    I swore eyes were made to cry
    But you're the first person that I've seen
    Who's proven that might be a lie

    So, don't leave me hanging alone again
    Don't leave me hanging
    Oh, where'd you go, go? Alley Rose
    Oh, where'd you go, go, go?

    Ohh, don't leave me hanging alone again
    Don't leave me hanging alone again
    Oh, where'd you go, go? Alley Rose
    Oh, where'd you go, go, go?

    Don't leave me hanging alone again
    I thought that I was your only friend
    Oh, where'd you go, go? Alley Rose
    Oh, where'd you go, go, go? Writer/s: Conan Gray
