Alone
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I waited for the sunrise
But it never came
I can see all the people
Somehow they're not the same
They're lost in the dreams
In the schemes that my eyes couldn't see
The wishing wells, the small hotels
Are what you left me
You said goodbye to me today
You left me on my own
Someone's gotta help me find my way
I'm standing here alone
I said "please stay" you laughed and walked away
It's all over now
I can't believe it, I can't conceive it
That you're gone somehow
[instrumental]
The smiling faces, the warm embraces
They're all in the past
Your sweet caress, my happiness
It just couldn't last
People say that I am just a fool
That I should go back home
I just smile and say I'm doin fine
I'm glad that I'm alone
I guess I'll go back home
I'll always be alone
