Title: I Used to Be Alone
Artist: Imaginary Future

Lyrics:

I used to be alone
I used to take the subway home
Lie in my apartment
Staring at my phone

I used to be alone
Make dinner with the TV on
Hiding from the silence
Heavy like a stone

I used to be alone
I met you on the basement floor
Laughing over nothing
Flowers in your hair

We walked until the dawn
Broke behind a wall of clouds
High above Manhattan
I still haven’t come down

I love you like there’s no tomorrow
Time is always borrowed
It’s not ours to keep
I’ll hold you like I’m gonna lose you
Like I’ve never had you in my arms

I used to be alone
I met you on the basement floor
High above Manhattan
I still haven’t come down
