This song is off of Act III: Life and Death by The Dear Hunter
Personally, this is my favorite song off the new album, and I find the album absolutely
After Act I came out, I didn't think they could top it. They topped it with Act II
and after that came out, I was almost positive they couldn't beat that. I was wrong.
It proved to be a little bit more difficult to figure this out than I anticipated, so if
are any corrections just let me know. But, I'm pretty sure that this is correct as it
shown.

|--What It Means to Be Alone--|
|-----------------------------|
Oh, you were born with the sun
And oh, you will die with the moon
And everything you thought you had you lost
But now you'd never lose what you don't have
*Pre-Chorus*
Prayers from above, never answered quite enough
Now the only one you have is you
*Chorus*
With this cruel and bitter heart
You were cold and in love
Left here naked in the sun
Run scared from this cruel and bitter world
This has only begun as the bombs are busting off
*Verse*
Smoke arose on azimuth glares
Bodies brewed and frigid winter air
Where families son's are robbed beneath their feet
And hearts concede "Ab Ovo," the angel sings "Ad astra"
Our eyes to the sea, we thought that we had
A cause for suffering, and reason not to die alone
Oh but
*Repeat Chorus*
With our feet beneath us, and our hands to the sky
/C
We extend our limbs begging "why, oh, why?"
Don't turn away
/
*Repeat Pre-Chorus*
Prayers from above never answered quite enough
Looking up, never offered you too much
Now the only one you have is...
