"a Troubled Soul"

One day all alone I felt my soul in pain.
All the while I felt like I was going insane.
My heart was broke and so was my brain.
A troubled soul with no one to blame.

I was blinded by my love for him.
But his love for me was just a whim.
As we grew apart our love growed dim.
I'm so unhappy and life's so grim.

A troubled soul is where I started.
Now he's made me broken hearted.
No more us now that we've parted.
A troubled soul has just got smarter.
