There is no good 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 in change

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 out and strung me out

And it hung years on my face

God help me, am I the only

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 a light ahead

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?
