   I opened up the music box
 I wish you would have changed the locks
 To keep me from replaying
All  the feelings I've been saving
   I did not keep them locked up inside
 I did not take my steps in stride
 Thought you were bluffing, trampled on  you
 Went from friends to nothing
   Radio  turns to gold
   And paves the way  to find my home
  When I'm  alone
  When I'm alone
 Overeager and underway
 I risked it all, I had to say
 What opened me up for the beating
 But the heart is for bleeding
 With scraps of songs I paste  along
 The seams of my clumsy tongue
 In hopes of creating the golden notes
 That might bring you back to me
   Radio  turns to gold
   And paves the way  to find my home
  When I'm  alone
  When I'm alone
 Like phantoms on the highway
After  holiday, gritting their teeth
 Racing to find a place for their soul
 Or at least a place... that's less familiar
 We offer up our heart before
 The heart's invited or asked for
 Oh no, here I go my friend, I'm repeating
 But the heart is for bleeding...
 And I've said all I can say
 I am retreating, on my way
 Music box, play my song I'll sing  along
 To that bitterly sweet tone
  When I'm alone...
