'You're Not Alone' is a story about a mentally disturbed man stalking a woman he knows will never fall in love with him.

The story of this song just sort of evolved over time. I developed this mentally disturbed character and just envisioned myself being him and what he would do if he saw a women he wanted, but he knew she would never even look his way. As far as 'knowing' what he would do, that came from various talk shows and articles about stalkers.
I think I did a good job at tying everything from the beginning of the song to the end of the song.

I feel like I know you even though we never met
I want so badly to know such a beautiful brunette
It's inconceivable for you to ever want someone like me
So I watch you, unknowingly, so secret, so carefully

I break into your house but you'll never know because I'm so discrete
I took a bottle of your perfume 'cause the smell was so sweet
I rummage though all of your things and I especially love your lingerie
I couldn't help myself and had to take a sexy black negligee

In every waking moment you're my obsession
In every sadistic dream you're my possession
When you least expect it I'll make myself known
Keep looking over your shoulder, because
You're not alone

I monitor your calls, it's so easy when you use a cordless phone
I've learned of your every secret and know when you're all alone
I lurk around your house, I know what you're doing every minute
I've taken many photographs, all of them quite exquisite

In my basement I have your pictures in a candle lit shrine
For hours I sit and stare wishing that you were mine
I put on the negligee, it's so silky against my skin
I spray the perfume, the scent is so feminine

I fondle myself becoming quite aroused and excited
Lust rages through my groin, my hormones have ignited
I envision me raping you, controlling and dominating
I sit alone, in my world passionately masturbating

In every waking moment you're my obsession
In every sadistic dream you're my possession
When you least expect it I'll make myself known
Keep looking over your shoulder, because
You're not alone
