lyrics

Aurora:

Guys, it’s HUDSON! We hate him! Come on.

Paxton:

You don’t think he would...?

Aurora:

What? No way he would actually...
No. There’s no way.

Hudson:

Don't ask how I am,
if you don't want to know.
I try to hold on,
but I'm letting go.
I don't always know,
what they want me to hear.
Fighting myself in fear.

Maybe they'll care,
if the sun doesn't rise.
Maybe they'll see,
if they close their eyes.
One day they'll know,
it will all be clear.
One day they'll wake up,
and I won't be here.

But what's in the dark,
please tell me why, can't I see.
And where is the light,
is it locked away just out of sight?
I'm lost in the crowd,
do they see me around?
I'm alone in my own, company.

Instrumental

It's time to leave,
if that's how it goes.
I won't even speak,
I'm singing alone.
I always believed,
in what people say.
Since who wants to live,
that way.

Maybe I'll care,
when the sun doesn't rise.
Can I be brave,
open up my eyes.
When will I know,
and see past my fears?
I'm not alone, I can see so clear.

Now I'm in the dark,
but I can see the way out.
I'm stuck looking back,
can I live with all thid fear and doubt.
I'm lost in the crowd, and I think I might drown.
I'm alone in my own company.

I'm alive but I just don't feel it.

Out of hope so I came to steal it.

Even though I will never be the same.

I'm not alone!

Here we go, here we go.

Be a friend, I wish to know.

I never have to be alone.

I'm enough on my own,
I'm enough on my own,
I'm here in my own company.
