In a little while from now. If I'm not feeling any less sour

I promise myself to treat myself. And visit a nearby tower
Bm7

And climbing to the top. To throw myself off

In an effort to make it clear to who-ever what it's like when you're shattered

Left standing in the lurch. At a church with people saying

"My God, that's tough, she stood him up. No point in us remaining

We may as well go home". As I did on my own. Alone again, naturally

To think that only yesterday. I was cheerful bright and gay

Looking forward who wouldn't do? The role I was about to play

And as if to knock me down. Reality came around

And without so much as a mere touch. Threw me into little pieces

Leaving me to doubt. Talk about God in his mercy

Who if He really does exist. Why did He desert me

It seems to me that there are more hearts broken in the world

I remember I cried when my father died. Never wishing to hide my tears

And at sixty-five years old. My mother, God rest her soul

Couldn't understand why the only man. She had ever loved had been taken

Leaving her to start. With a heart so badly broken. Despite encouragement from me

No words were ever spoken. When she passed away I cried and cried all day

Alone again naturally. Alone again naturally
