Alone Again Lyrics
(feat. P. Reign)
'Til now, I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone
[P. Reign]
I sit back and reminisce, it hurts to think about it all
We was on top of the world, whoever thought that we would fall
Standing by the phone, alone, ignoring your call
I feel like spiderman, you got me flying off of the wall
I ain't wanna leave, but still I had to go
'Cause what goods a rainbow without my pot of gold
But now your bed's empty and your pillow's cold
You never realized the love until my love was gone
When I said I could move on and go
You said I'm weak and it shows
I couldn't go on without you
Now I'm sitting in this house alone
Wondering why I left home
And I'm hoping that you know that
'Til now, I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone
[P. Reign]
You act like you don't need me
'Cause you're scared of being needy
You want to have your cake and eat it too
I call that being greedy
And they say that love costs
Consider this a freebie
No one said this would be easy
Either love me or just leave me
Admit it, we too old for pretendin'
Ain't like our bond is broken
It just needed some mending
And when you need a hand
You know I'll be there to lend it
What's the point in having time
If I ain't there to help you spend it
Yeah
When I said I could move on and go
You said I'm weak and it shows
I couldn't go on without you
Now I'm sitting in this house alone
Wondering why I left home
And I'm hoping that you know that
'Til now, I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone
I wonder where you are tonight
No answer on the telephone
And the night goes by so very slow
Oh, I hope that it won't end though
Alone
And I'm hoping that you know that
'Til now, I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone
'Til now, I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone
Meaning of Alone Again
“Alone Again” by Alyssa Reid, featuring P. Reign, is a devastatingly honest exploration of regret and the corrosive aftermath of a lost love, painted with vivid imagery and a raw emotional core. The song’s central theme revolves around the realization that self-sufficiency, previously a defining characteristic of the narrator's life, became utterly meaningless once she found genuine connection – and subsequently, profound loss. Initially presented as someone who “always got by on her own,” the narrator reveals a startling vulnerability upon losing this relationship, admitting, "I never really cared until I met you," highlighting the transformative power of love and its subsequent pain. The lyrics depict a cyclical pattern of yearning and accusation; she desperately seeks to understand why he perceived her attempts to move on as weakness (“You said I’m weak and it shows”) while simultaneously lamenting his inability to reciprocate her devotion ("You want to have your cake and eat it too").
Reid masterfully uses metaphors – the “rainbow without my pot of gold,” the “spiderman” sensation of being swept away by his affection, and the chilling emptiness of an empty bed and cold pillow – to convey the profound sense of isolation and bewilderment. P. Reign's verse amplifies this feeling with a detached, almost cynical perspective, emphasizing his fear of vulnerability and demanding a relationship that caters to his selfish desires. Ultimately, "Alone Again" isn’t just about heartbreak; it’s about confronting the painful truth that sometimes, the greatest losses aren't due to external forces but stem from a fundamental failure to recognize and nurture a precious connection – leaving the narrator trapped in a desolate landscape of regret and unanswered questions.
