Theres No One Around

In my numbness I allowed the boundaries to fall down let people push me around My weakness does astound When you’ve turned to no one handled your life on your own then when you need someone you find there’s nobody home Because they come to you and you always help out it’s something they don’t do when it’s the other way around Something they’ve not done Never turned to for advice So they treat it good fun laugh at you and say you lie And you’re victimised at work Isolated against the illegal trying to survive getting hurt learning you’ve got no people And the ones who you turn to behave like it’s all you do so you feel no one loves you No one ever comes through Then you’re whole world falls down for reasons that nobody knew all trying to figure you out on the basis you don’t speak true So they think you’re dishonest and you always need help They swear and they promise they just want to help So my boundaries went down I didn’t care about people Addictions I found so weak and so feeble Now I live in doubt of what mankind’s about I still shut people out because they let me down To not even listen the first time I reached out who I was is now missing there’s no one around It’ll only get worse as more know to treat me a mug It’s like I was first now the whole world’s above
