  • One boy, one girl, two hearts, their world
    Time goes by, secrets rise
    One more, sad song, tears shed, she's gone
    She'd take it back, if she only could

    And all the perfect words they seem so wrong
    She's gone
    You wish that you could learn to see
    The door is closed and you wish you could be

    Alone with you, alone with me
    What can I do? I cannot breathe
    My heart is torn for all to see
    Alone with you, alone with me

    Best friend, worst thing, she's been cheating
    Friend deceives, she leaves
    Last date, she cries, whispers, goodbye
    She walks once more, out that door

    And all the perfect words they seem so wrong
    She's gone
    You wish that you could learn to see
    The door is closed and you wish you could be

    Alone with you, alone with me
    What can I do? I cannot breathe
    My heart is torn for all to see
    Alone with you, alone with me

    Please, please, please, please

    Please stay, don't go away
    The hardest thing is letting go of you
    Please stay, don't go away
    The hardest thing is letting go of you
    What can I do?

    Alone with you, alone with me
    What can I do? I cannot breathe
    Alone with-, alone with-
    Alone with you, alone with me
    What can I do? I cannot breathe
    My heart is torn for all to see
    Alone with you, alone with- Writer/s: Nick Wheeler, Tyson Ritter

  • Lissa from Austin, TxI love this song so much. I listened to it all day when I broke up with my boyfriend. Good song.
  • Lennonfan11 from Regawrhhrh, IcelandHa I have the first comment! As the title suggests, this song just sums up the average teenage breakup, which most listeners have been through. I like it!
