[Intro]

                  


[Verse 1]

        
In a little wh

         
ile from now
       
If I'm not fee

ling any less 

sour
  
I promise myse

lf to treat my

self
        
And visit a ne

     
arby tower
    
And climbing t

o the top
   
To throw mysel

f off
            
In an effort t

          
o make it clea

r to who-
           
ever what it's

              
 like when you

    
're shattered
     
Left standing 

in the lurch
           
At a church wi

          
th people sayi

ng
    
"My God, that'

s tough, she s

tood him up
   
No point in us

 remaining
        
We may as well

    
 go home"
          
As I did on my

 
 own
        
Alone again, n

        
aturally


[Verse 2]

        
To think that 

           
only yesterday
      
I was cheerful

 bright and ga

y
        
Looking forwar

d to - who wou

ldn't do?
        
The role I was

          
 about to play
       
And as if to k

nock me down

Reality came a

round
            
And without so

           
 much as a mer

e touch
           
Threw me into 

       
little pieces

Leaving me to 

doubt
           
Talk about God

        
 in his mercy
    
Who if He real

ly does exist

Why did He des

ert me?
        
In my hour of 


need
          
I truly am ind


eed
         
Alone again, n

     
aturally


[Bridge]

             
It seems to me

              
 that there ar

              
e more hearts 


broken in the 

world
        
Than can be me

  
nded
        
Left unattende


d
  
What do we do?
      
What do we do?

[Verse 3]

        
Looking back o

         
ver the years
        
And whatever e

lse appears
    
I remember I c

ried when my f

ather died
        
Never wishing 

           
to hide my tea

rs
       
And at sixty-f

ive years old
   
My mother, God

 rest her soul
            
Couldn't under

              
stand why the 


only man
           
She had ever l

              
oved had been 


taken

Leaving her to

 start
           
With a heart s

        
o badly broken

Despite encour

agement from m

e
   
No words were 

ever spoken
        
When she passe

  
d away
          
I cried and cr

        
ied all day
