I haven't a reason, a clue or a sign   I haven't the slightest idea   Of the shape of your heart or the state of your mind   Do you ever let anyone near   Do you ever reach out with arms open wide   Do you ever jump in closing your eyes   Or are you one of the fortunate kind   Alone but not lonely      Everyday on the street I study their faces   The ones who rush on through the crowd   Towards their own quiet worlds, their separate places   Somewhere I'm never allowed   'Cause I've always been one to say what I need   And than the next thing it's done and I'm watching 'em leave   And I'm thinking, I wish I could be   Alone but not lonely      So which one are you tonight   Do you change with the morning light   Do you say more than what sounds right   Do you say what you mean?      There are moments in time that are meant to be held   Like fragile, breakable things   There are others that pass us, you can't even tell   Such is their grace and their speed   And this one is gone in the blink of an eye   You can ask me the truth but tonight I will lie   Unflinching I'll tell you that I'm alone but not lonely
