Alone
Cassie McCauley 1977 (UT)
©Cassie
You’ve left me alone, don’t seem to care
I look at the phone you’re just not there.
My heart aches, loneliness is real
Painful emptiness is all that I feel.
I’ve tried so hard to be what you want
I guess I can’t do it, I’m just a dumb cunt.
I have too many issues, been hurt way too much
I’ve got to stop using a man as my crutch.
Left on my own to battle my demons
No one left in my life that can see them
Death a great vision I see behind my eyes
Was all that you told me, nothing but lies?
When you were around, you kept them at bay
Now that you’ve moved they won’t go away
Life has given you more, then I had to share
The money I couldn’t come up with, no fair.
Happiness is what, I wish for you
A white knight isn’t real, a fantasy untrue
I’ll set here and ache, learn to move on
A battle I wage now that you’re gone.
