You've Been Alone

Patrick Cannell ©2023

You've been alone for too long now.
Here on your own and wondering how.
Love stayed away and Lord knows why.
You've been alone and so have I.

You used to think that love would come.
You took to drink, please save me some.
Just like your heart, the glass is cracked.
You've been alone and that's a fact.

It's not too late to make a date with destiny,
If not for you then not for me.
Can't you see?

You've been alone for many years
And every day is filled with tears.
Think of the fun you could have had.
You've been alone and that's too bad.

It's not too late to make a date with destiny,
If not for you then not for me.
Can't you see?

Oh! When your heart breaks do you?
Oh! I've got to hand it to you,
You really know how to make a show of your pain.

You've been alone for too long now.
Here on your own and wondering how.
Love stayed away and Lord knows why.
You've been alone and out of sight.
You fled the sky and shunned the light.
You've been alone and that's not right.
