Why am I here by myself?
I need your loving guidance.
Why don't you care anymore?

My life is strange without you near,
I have no one to run to.
You loved me much, were so sincere,
But you loved me not as I love you.

Were you really ever there for me?
Was I truly in your heart?
You thought I was too blind to see,
But you know that wasn't smart.

For I shall be lost no longer,
And I am not alone.
I have myself to make me stronger,
And all my wounds are sewn.
