The Lyrics

This is more of an alternative lyrics more depressing than the original song...yes that's possible. For your viewing pleasure there is an extra verse too...and to top it all off I wrote this "parody" on VALENTINE'S DAY in 1999! No, that isn't a joke, and please do not read this if you are emotionally unstable
(intro soft keyboard/piano)

It's been along time since I spoke the words
I wish they were here right now so my anger could be heard
Isolated from all and by myself
Tortured in my brain, I can't be helped

Where were you when I needed you the most?
Nowhere to be found, vanished like a ghost
Reality of loneliness sets me apart
Knawing from within and tearing out my heart

You make this all go away
You make this all okay
I'm down to just one thing
and I'm starting to scare myself

You make this all go away
You make it all okay
I just want something
I just want the one thing
I can never have

I tryed to figure out just what went wrong
Held up by my past I cannot move on
Oh God why did this happen to me?
Never understood--you cannot see--come on tell me
( repeat chorus both lines)

You know it's really hard to be okay
There wasn't anyone to show me the way
I want to rid myself of this damned disease
But even with my death I still can't find peace
( repeat chorus again and fade out )
