Analysis of Alone
I feel alone in my troubles
It’s an out of body experience
I feel like I’m under the rubble
So much weight for me to handle
I feel like a burden
Nobody to confide in or talk to
Nobody to trust with my problems
Who is it in this world that I can turn to
I feel like I’m not enough
Nothing I do counts for anything
It feels like when things get tough
I’m sitting in a pool of my tears deep within
Will the constant pain ever end
Even the painkillers couldn’t take it away
In the saddest moments of my life I pretend
By carrying this smile on my face
So that they would not see
The hurt I carry right inside of me
