Alone for a While

Riding on the Subway Looking like a tragic hero  Julius Caesar never felt this warm Or if he did he never talked about it A one-bedroom apartment in Charlotte  I think the loneliest number is love I see the tourists walking through my life  And I'm learning not to think about'm  And I'm learning that family and your long time best friends  Are the only ones that last  I'm learning that tragedy and the way I react Is the only thing I have I'll fall in love  Again, I know I will  Love's not enough  To keep me standing still  I gave away my heart  Look babe I'm a shooting star  But I can't give away my life Long night flying over Memphis  Flashing lights and faded jeans I Think I'll light a little candle for  A TV screen full of dying dreams And all the lonely teenage idols  Who gave up what they sing about To the God's of superstardom Sitting in their synagogues handing tickets out  To the beautiful  Am I beautiful  Last time last fight  I swear I tried Is this my empire  Are all these brilliant light for me  A one man empire Play my soul on an mp3 I'm learning that family  Is really not that bad  And I'm learning that tragedy  Is never all I have Cuz it's my life  And it's not that bad
