David DiMuzio - Alone for a While Lyrics

Riding on the Subway
Looking like a tragic hero 
Julius Caesar never felt this warm
Or if he did he never talked about it
A one-bedroom apartment in Charlotte 
I think the loneliest number is love
I see the tourists walking through my life 
And I'm learning not to think about'm 

And I'm learning that family and your long time best friends 
Are the only ones that last 
I'm learning that tragedy and the way I react
Is the only thing I have

I'll fall in love 
Again, I know I will 
Love's not enough 
To keep me standing still 

I gave away my heart 
Look babe I'm a shooting star 
But I can't give away my life

Long night flying over Memphis 
Flashing lights and faded jeans I
Think I'll light a little candle for 
A TV screen full of dying dreams
And all the lonely teenage idols 
Who gave up what they sing about
To the God's of superstardom
Sitting in their synagogues handing tickets out 
To the beautiful 
Am I beautiful 

Last time last fight 
I swear I tried

Is this my empire 
Are all these brilliant light for me 
A one man empire
Play my soul on an mp3

I'm learning that family 
Is really not that bad 
And I'm learning that tragedy 
Is never all I have

Cuz it's my life 
And it's not that bad
