Alone Again
O'Sullivan Gilbert Lyrics

In a little while from now If I'm not feeling any less sour I promise myself to treat myself And visit a nearby tower And climbing to the top will throw myself off In an effort to make it clear to whoever What it's like when you're shattered Left standing in the lurch at a church Where people saying: "My God, that's tough" "She stood him up" "No point in us remaining" "We may as well go home" As I did on my own Alone again, naturally
If soon I feel no better, I'll go to the tower, climb to the top then jump off; to reveal my pain and confusion to whoever happens to see and to let them feel such distress. I'll prove that being left at a church is unbearable, especially when the people there express their sympathy through mildly condescending statements like "My God, that's tough", and even when left with no other choice, continuing to spend time there is pointless; just like I did, all by myself again, alone.

To think that only yesterday I was cheerful, bright and gay Looking forward to who wouldn't do The role I was about to play? But as if to knock me down Reality came around And without so much as a mere touch Cut me into little pieces Leaving me to doubt Talk about God in His mercy Who if He really does exist Why did He desert me? In my hour of need I truly am indeed Alone again, naturally
Just yesterday, I was full of joy and anticipation for the role I was meant to enact. But with such force, reality hit me like a rock and tore me apart with no physical effort, leaving me in great shock and disappointment. I wonder about the mercifulness of God and whether He actually exists; could He really leave me alone when I'm in grave need of help? Truly, once again, I am alone and unsupported.

It seems to me that there are more hearts Broken in the world that can't be mended Left unattended What do we do? What do we do? Alone again, naturally
It's becoming more evident to me that there are countless broken hearts in the world, which cannot be fixed or tended to, just left there in despair. What can we really do in such situations, when we're left alone again, naturally?

Looking back over the years And whatever else that appears I remember I cried when my father died Never wishing to hide the tears And at sixty-five years old My mother, God rest her soul Couldn't understand why the only man She had ever loved had been taken Leaving her to start with a heart so badly broken Despite encouragement from me No words were ever spoken And when she passed away I cried and cried all day Alone again, naturally Alone again, naturally
Recalling the past and every thought that surfaces from it, I can't forget the day my dad passed away, and I cried so much, never trying to conceal my tears. Then my mother, after 65 years on this earth, couldn't figure out why the man she loved with her whole heart was taken away from her, leaving her with a lot of pain and featuring a heart beyond repair. Although I tried to convince her to speak out her feelings, she was never able to, despite my support. When she eventually died, I spent the entire day crying by myself once again, naturally.
