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
