What It Means To Be Alone Lyrics - The Dear Hunter

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 

Prayers from above 

Never answered quite enough 

Now the only one you have is you 

With this (cruel?) bitter heart 

You were (gone and it hurt?) 

Left her naked in the sun 

(I'm scared?) from this (cruel?) bitter world 

This has only begun 

As the bombs are bursting off 

Smoke arose 

On azimuth glares 

Bodies brewed 

In frigid winter air 

Where family's sons 

Are robbed beneath their feet 

And hearts conceit 

(Above her?)The angel sings 

(Distracted?) our eyes to the sea 

And we thought that we had 

A cause for suffering 

And reason enough to die alone 

Oh but, 

You, 

Will this (cruel?) bitter heart 

You were (gone and in love?) 

Left her naked in the sun 

(I'm scared?) from this (cruel?) bitter world 

This has only begun 

As the bombs are bursting off 

With our feet beneath us 

With our hands to the sky 

We extend our limbs 

Begging "Why, oh why?" 

Don't fade away 

Prayers from above 

Never answered quite enough 

Looking up 

Never offered you too much 

Now the only one you have is
