Torn and Forlorn
I went to a crazy bar in a fancy car with a supermodel.
I had everything I wished, except it felt so bare and hollow.
Woke up and cried, though I know, no one heard my sorrow,
How I hoped I was brave and had some left for someone to borrow.
I just don’t seem to like anybody,
But why do I tell myself I need somebody?
This paradox makes me so confused about everybody,
And I can’t treat myself ‘cause I don’t have any money.
Walking down the road all by myself, I see nobody.
Yet I glance around, hoping I can spot a bunny,
In the middle of the road, people think I’m loony.
But I know, I need a rope, I feel so lonely.
I know my shadow has got my back, sitting right beside my rack
Hard as I try, I can’t seem to stop reeling from the knack.
I know I’m all I need, so I buckle up and get my sack.
Though I keep it in, my heart feels like it’s being rolled like tarmac.
I lie to me, so I can sleep peacefully, about all around me
How hard I try, to keep it in, but just can’t stop feeling lonely.
I want no one but need someone to hear my baloney,
How hard I wish, it was someone, other than my own one and only.
