You Ain't Alone
Lonely Nights and Broken Hearts: Toby Keith's Emotive Ballad
Lyrics
I’ve chased all the cracks up and down the ceiling
I've spent a lot of time examining the cracks on the ceiling.
Worn a path across these hardwood floors
I've walked back and forth across these wooden floors frequently.
I’ve stared at the walls and I’ve looked out the window
I've looked at the walls and out the window, hoping for your arrival.
And I prayed for your knock upon my door
I've prayed for you to come to my door.
There’s a sad lovers' moon, shining on the evening
There's a melancholic moon, symbolizing longing, shining in the night sky.
I miss you more than ever and I’m sorry that you’re gone
I miss you immensely and regret your absence.
I wish things were different
I desire a different circumstance or outcome.
I had no way of knowing
I didn't have any way of foreseeing this situation.
If you’re all by yourself tonight
If you're alone tonight,
You ain’t alone, you ain’t alone
You're not the only one experiencing this.
No coffee on the stove
There's no coffee brewing.
And on the table in the kitchen
There's a game of solitaire left incomplete on the kitchen table.
There’s a busted hand of midnight solitaire
The game of solitaire is disrupted or unfinished at midnight.
There’s a ghost in the bedroom
There's a feeling of a presence or memory haunting the bedroom.
A nightgown on the dresser
A nightgown is left on the dresser, reminiscent of your absence.
A broken heart that wishes you were there
There's a heartbreak wishing for your return.
There’s a sad lovers’ moon, shining on the evening
Similar to before, a sorrowful moon shines in the night sky.
I miss you more than ever and I’m sorry that you’re gone
My longing and regret for your absence have increased.
I wish things were different
Desire for a different outcome persists.
I had no way of knowing
I couldn't have predicted this situation.
If you’re all by yourself tonight
If you're alone tonight,
You ain’t alone, you ain’t alone
You're not the only one experiencing this.
Tears of sorrow and regret
Feeling deep sadness and remorse.
Ashtrays full of cigarettes
Ashtrays filled with used cigarettes.
Empty bottles lined up just like soldiers
Empty bottles lined up, reminiscent of soldiers' formation.
But by now somebody holds her
But at this point, someone else is likely comforting her.
