Am I The Only One

There is no damn reason I should have to be so alone

I’m smothered by this emptiness, Lord I wish I was made of stone

Like a fool I lent my soul to love and it paid me back with shame

God help me, am I the only one who’s ever felt this way ?

A heart that’s worn and weathered would know better than to fight

But I wore mine like a weapon, played out love like a crime

And it wrung me and strung me out, hung years on my face

God help me, am I the only one who’s ever felt this way ?

Now my sense of humor needs a break

I see a shadow in the mirror and she’s laughin’ through her tears

One more smile’s all I can fake

There is a wound inside me and it’s bleeding like a flood

There are times when I see light ahead but hope is not enough

As another night surrounds me and it pounds me like a wave

God help me, am I the only one who’s ever felt this way ?
