Her Heart Beats Alone
it is just as i suspected
a lonely echo to the sound
can't remember where she left it
another day down for the count
some folk accept the fact
she has bought all that she owns
and with what little she has left
her heart beats alone
they hand out prizes to the winners
sympathy plaques held out for the rest
another night of T.V. dinners
where loneliness feeds itself
she tries her best to overcome it
her thoughts like a broken home
feels she's the only one in the running
as her heart beats alone
never once trusted much in love
says it's a drug that doesn't last
anyways she could never afford enough
if the truth in it be said
certainly didn't wish for it
the direction her life's been thrown
but when it all comes down to it
her heart beats alone
