We ordered up one more bottle of wine

You told your story and I thought about mine

You said when you lost her, you lost everything

It all started having a familiar ring



I asked you to take me someplace quiet

We wound up at the river for the rest of the night

Somewhere around the break of day

I could hear it coming from a mile away



Don't say that word, not the one we both heard too much

You may think you do, but you don't

It's just the fear of being alone



Reckless hearts can clear a path wider than a hurricane's aftermath

We've both traveled down that road

Well in the name of love, anything goes



So don't say that word, not the one we both heard too much

You may think you do, but you don't

It's just the fear of being alone



Like a child in the night

With no one to hold you and tell you everything's gonna be alright

I must admit it's been fun, but that's no reason to jump the gun

If this is real, time will tell

So let me bite my tongue and remind myself



Don't say that word, the one we both heard too much

You may think you do, but you don't

It's just the fear of being alone
