Left Me Alone


Left Me (Alone)

Jan. 12th, 2006

 

You left me alone in this dark home

and every since you left me 

i've sitting here like a stone, all alone.

You left me nothing

No food, no water, no clothes

As everyday goes on I sit

And wait for you to return.

My body yearns and soul burns

as I sit and turn,

turn to another blank corner.

The feelings and emotions Im going through

has me feeling like a mourner, a goner.

 

Right now at this time and place

I cant see my hand in front of my face.

It's so dark, so prepare yourself as i embark,

embark on this only journey.

Now that Cochran's dead,

I have no attorney to present my case to the jury.

 

Now jumping back to this lonely room

I feel like Im in hell,

I feel like Im doomed.

Im scared to turn the lights on,

so i'll just wait till dawn,

and hope all the darkness be gone

and instead of me waiting until you return

Im no longer concerned

because you didn't care about me

because if you did, you wouldn't have left me in this

room of doom.
