Analysis of Its lonely on your own
The time is spent.
The end has come.
Seems a little pointless now.
All that time and effort.
Gone like water down a drain.
That little whirlwind in the sink.
So fast and free.
Then gone.
Wondering what to do.
Its lonely on your own.
Its lonely on your own.
The time has come.
Decide where your life should go.
I feel so old.
Too much life too quickly.
Drained and worn out.
Too tough.
When the going gets rough.
Maybe you should have run away.
The time is spent.
The end has come.
Seems a little pointless now.
All that time and effort.
