Alone


I didn't want to admit it
It was easier to lie
And hide the hurt and emptiness
To smile instead of cry
I didn't want to face the fact
My life is full of pain
And I long to stop my bleeding heart
And maybe smile again
'Cause I feel oh-so-forgotten
So betrayed and so alone
Without a trace of forgiveness
And no soul to call my own
I didn't want to admit the fact
I cannot spread my wings
And my happiness has melted
Into tears and other things
It's hard for me to hide the fact
My wishes have no home
And return to anguish
Bow my head and cry alone
