Story Behind The Song
Throughout our lives we encounter a variety of relationships at various stages, ranging from our parents, then, as we grow older, relationships with spouses, significant others, etc. As time passes, we lose those that we love as a result of death, going separate ways, etc. This is when we feel most alone and need subtle reminders of that lost love to help us make it each day of our journey.

Lyrics
ALONE
Going in circles, life is so empty
I wish I was invisible
Just trying to ease my mind
'Cause there's always this pain
God knows I've tried, there's nowhere to hide
(Chorus)
Tell me where you've gone, I feel so alone
Tell me where you've gone, my heart needs to know
A whisper in the air, say you're some place close
Tell me where you've gone, I feel so alone
It wraps around my heart, this loneliness in me
A weight upon my soul
I just can't go on
Swear I was half alive
This knowing that I'm really all alone (Chorus)
Darkness turns to light and tears begin to dry
Memories of your love in sight
Life is a journey
And you're always by my side
Giving me the strength to live each day (Chorus)
