My sadness it is growing.

I'm sure it's started showing.

This feeling's getting stronger,

I can't hold back out much longer

It's swelling deep inside,

emotions I can't hide.



Then the heartaches begin.

I'm telling you.

The heartaches begin.



I need someone to guide me,

someone to reconcile me.

to take away this pain

before it starts again.

But no one listens to me.

Can't control what's set in deeply.



chorus



Four stone walls surround me.

An empty shell's all you see.

My former self's departed.

A man who's broken hearted.

Loneliness is what I fear,

holding on to all that's dear.



chorus



I'm telling you, child
