And I am my own cause I am alone
I have no one talk to or to call on the phone
I long for a touch, but I’m all that I know
I have no one to love so I will my own
I feel so stuck with this beyond my control
Cause I’m sick of this place I’m in, I’m sick of this hole
While everyone around me has someone for themselves
I’m left here to deal in my personal hell
Cause everybody’s in love, but me and I don't know what’s worse
And everybody’s in love, but me and I’m left in the dirt
I can’t keep this up, I’m not alone but I am
The waiting’s impatient and the craving sinks in
I keep asking myself when will this come to an end?
I’ll never come to my senses, is this who I am?
Cause everybody’s in love, but me and I don't know what’s worse
And everybody’s in love, but me and I’m left in the dirt
I stretch for a hand, but there’s no one to reach
Clawing at air, I’ve been strongly deceived
Cause what i thought it was wasn’t what it would be
Cause there’s no one for me, no there’s no one for me
Cause everybody’s in love but me and I don't know what’s worse
And everybody’s in love but me and I’m left in the dirt
As you crave you decay and it hurts and feels worse
Cause you know you’ve got nothing to feel
Desperation equals pain when all that’s left to do is wait
With the hope that maybe it's real
Cause everybody’s in love, but me and I don't know what’s worse
And everybody’s in love, but me and I’m left in the dirt
And everybody’s in love, but me, woah
And everybody’s in love, but me and I’m left in the dirt
The pressure’s too much, can’t find my place in this role
They say love takes time, but it’s taking its toll
