Lost It All

I literally feel like I've lost it all When I thought I was on the ball I don't want to deal with anything at all When I knew you were going to call I don't want to spend my years alone Without you by my side...on my own… I will never fully recover the moment you left me in my lonesome tent I will never fully remember the times we've squandered and spent Believe in me and you'll clearly see That happiness is meant to be...with me… Relieve the sorrow of yesterday's dismay Grieve not for me - no, oh no…not today The shallow shadows consume me in the dead of night The reflections in the water below us is shining bright I apparently won everything somehow But, yet I gained nothing - what now?
