Sonya Alone
Dave Malloy
[SONYA]
Hard as it is
In the coming days
I watch my friend
In her strange unnatural state
Don’t let her out of my sight
She trails off
Stares at nothing
Laughs at random
And the letters come

She waits by the window
And I listen at the door
Until one day
I see by the sad look on her face
There is a dreadful plan in her heart

I know you are capable of anything
I know you so well my friend
I know you might just run away
What am I to do?
Who do I ask for help?
Is it all on me?
Is it all on me?
I will stand in the dark for you
I will hold you back by force
I will stand here right outside your door
I won’t see you disgraced
I will protect your name and your heart
Because I miss my friend

I know you’ve forgotten me
I know you so well my friend
I know you might just throw yourself over
But I won’t let you
I won’t let you
It’s all on me

And I remember this family
I remember their kindness
And if I never sleep again

I will stand in the dark for you
I will hold you back by force
I will stand here right outside your door
I won’t see you disgraced
I will protect your name and your heart
Because I miss my friend
Because I miss my friend
Because I miss you, my friend
