“alone” in a lyric: two examples

and it turns out I'm good at being alone.

but she's taken up drums, so she's not alone.

How to choose the rhyme

  • Say the line out loud before you choose: the rhyme has to land on the beat where the melody stresses it.
  • Rhymes of 1 syllable (own, phone, and known) close a line hard; those of 3 syllables (overgrown and overthrown) stretch it and soften it. Match them to what the line is saying.
  • If every perfect rhyme for “alone” sounds forced, move “alone” inside the line and end it on another word.
