Alone is a quiet, devastating lament from Florence, sung in the aftermath of love, loss, and self-imposed isolation. Once, her world was open and shared with Roslyn, a love she believed unbreakable. When that life is taken from her, Florence retreats, closing the door on daylight, connection, and hope.

The song moves between memory and regret, revealing how grief led her to create Rose, not as a companion, but as a refuge she could control and hide away. As Florence finally admits her failures as a creator and a lover, Alone becomes a confession of guilt and sorrow, ending with the devastating realisation that shutting out the world has only deepened her loneliness. Intimate, raw, and deeply human, this track sits at the emotional core of Clockwork Heart.

ALONE

Verse 1

There was a time I was not alone, When all the doors were wide open. I loved a girl, A heart that could not be broken.

Verse 2

We lived our lives free, A world for her and me, She was taken, And I was left to be, Alone…

Refrain

So I closed my door, To the world and stayed, Alone…

Broken hearted, I closed my life, No more daylight, And stayed, Alone…

Instrumental

(Florence moves around the room and tries to go out the door a few times, but fails)

Movement Change My love lost her life…

Oh, Roslyn, How could I live without you?

(The film ends and Florence)

Verse 3

So I made you, Rose, With your clockwork heart, I didn’t hear what you had to say, And hid you away…

(Florence puts on a new film of Rose)

Bridge I lost you, I pushed you away, You ran away. I couldn’t make you stay…

Refrain

Again, I’ll close my door, To the world and stay, Alone…

Broken hearted, I’ll close my life, With just moonlight, And stay, Alone!

(Florence shuts off the film and comes centre stage)

Verse 4

There was a time I was not alone, Should have kept the doors wide open. I loved a girl, With a clockwork heart that was broken.

(Florence slowly closes the door, smashed the bottle of laudanum and collapses on the floor)
