Alone

Today I saw a couple holding hands
And it made me think
Who am I?
Why am I so alone, so alone?

Never understood
Why I have no hand to hold
So how can they understand?
They’ve never been lonely at all

Waiting so long
What am I waiting for?
They say you gotta wait for the call
But why must I wait?
I need someone now

Just to hold you
Is that too much to ask?
Or should I take a step back?
I’m searching for answers I’ll never find
But what did I do wrong?
Is it that hard to understand
I need someone to love me for who I am

And I’m so tired
Of waking up to no one there
And I’m so sick
Sick of playing this little game
Will I ever meet the girl of my dreams?
And why can’t she like me for me?

Stop saying
That I don’t need someone
I already told you, I need someone
To hold, and to hold me
I’m so lonely
Don’t you understand?
If this goes on for much longer
I don’t know if I can take it
So should I just sit here and take it?
Like a dog, lying on the dirty floor
I’ve got nothing, I’ve got nothing to do
And I tell you what
I keep repeating it
I need her, so I can be happy
I’m okay with myself
But I still need it, I still need it!

How can it be so hard?
Why is it so far out of my reach?
I already told you, I need it
At this point, why am I even trying?
And why do I still cry
Even though I know
It never would’ve happened

Being alone doesn’t help me
It doesn’t teach me a lesson
It only makes me bitter
It’s only making me bitter
I’m so bitter
