Alone At The Top

(album: Hotel Kalifornia - 2022)

Just hold on
Don't let it slip away
'Cause all I've got
Is wasted memories

I'm at the top
Look how far I've gone
Just to find that all die young
Alone
Don't let it slip
Don't let it slip away

Always chasing after something
Try to escape but the clock is running
I can see the end is coming
And when you're gone you'll leave with nothing
All the choices that I've chosen
Always left me bruised and broken
It's hard to say what's left unspoken
When time is up I'm left with no one

I can make the pain stop
I'm talking but you're not listening
'Cause time is what we all want
The maker of your own misery

When it feels too late
To be saved
Just hold on
Don't let it slip away
'Cause all I've got
Is wasted memories

I'm at the top
Look how far I've gone
Just to find that we all die young
Alone
Don't let it slip
Don't let it slip away

I'm looking below me
Road paved, the sacrifices you made
I'm sorry I could not save you from the price that you paid
Regret is running heavy
The flood, the guilt, the levy
It cannot hold me steady
River runs red and ready
On the day that my heart stops
I don't wanna look back at what I've seen
The lonely road that I've walked
I wonder if it was all a dream

When it feels too late
To be saved
Just hold on
Don't let it slip away
'Cause all I've got
Is wasted memories

I'm at the top
Look how far I've gone
Just to find that we all die young
Alone
Don't let it slip
Don't let it slip away

Don't let it go
'Cause time slips through your hands
You'll never know
Just keep going because I can't
Don't let it go
This is your last chance
Don't let yourself die before you live

Just hold on
Don't let it slip away
'Cause all I've got
Is wasted memories

I'm at the top
Look how far I've gone
Just to find that we all die young
Alone
Don't let it slip
Don't let it slip away
