Alone

Gave to Dave Richie for a song

Alone

You may be in a relationship but very much alone.

You may be offered some support but always on your own.

Wondering why you feel so ill with everything that’s fraught.

You go to bed so early with nothing but your thoughts.

Fed up with constant battles and the point you’re trying to make.
Tired of trying to prove you’re right till your heart begins to ache.

Doing everything yourself and unable to communicate

And even problems that are simple it leaves you in a state.

You ask the same old question and to the depth of your soul

Wonder why you are here to act out the same old role.

Struggling once more and yet time and time again

Its déjà vu and the answer to you is like a closed chain.

Once in a blue moon you need the benefit of the doubt

Instead of keep arguing, repeating, going over and to shout!
So exhausted you’ve become almost to the point of no return,
To ask for a little understanding but once again you’re spurned.

Chorus: Rejected dejected just want to be respected,

     Want your strong shoulders and need to be protected.

You want a magic wand to wave and to cast a spell

Go back to the time when you both got on so well

All you want to do now is hide right in your shell

Now how it feels when we argue, you want me to go to hell

You try to help and aide all the minor problems that you get

But always feel rejected and just get more and more upset.

It isn’t worth the time you’ve taken to try and work things through

Nobody’s dying, it’s just me crying and it’s all because of you.
