Lost and Alone (My Secret Sin)

I decided to write a special dedication Holding her in my arms was soothing as meditation I met her as a freshman Her eyed dyed with dryness Palm to palm I squeezed tightly, just so we could get by stress Watched you laugh as I pressed my thumbs Up against your chubby gums And even as you were pouting Your innocence stretched a smile And as you lay across my chest I soon forgot the happiness I so longed for as a child And now I miss you for miles But if you could just find your way home You wouldn’t be so lost and alone If you could just find your way home We wouldn’t be so lost and alone I write so much better when it’s dim Sorrow leaks from this romantic film Into your eyes I’ll charm your lips and wipe away your tears Smile whenever your whispers near my ears And I wish I could take your pain away I miss you even more and that’s a shame to say I’m lonely and on the inside I’m dying Sometimes I wonder if I should keep trying In search for happiness Maybe I’ll laugh for death I turn up liquor Hoping that it’ll absolve my problems quicker Not much of an alcoholic So I don’t exactly know what one would call it I’m lost and alone But still wondering when you’ll find your way home
