There is no damn reason I should have to be so alone
I'm smothered by this emptiness, Lord I wish I was made of stone
Like a fool I lent my soul to love and it paid me back with shame
God help me, am I the only one who's ever felt this way?

A heart that's worn and weathered would know better than to fight
But I wore mine like a weapon, played out love like a crime
And it wrung me and strung me out, hung years on my face
God help me, am I the only one who's ever felt this way?

Now my sense of humor needs a break
I see a shadow in the mirror and she's laughin' through her tears
One more smile's all I can fake

There is a wound inside me and it's bleeding like a flood
There are times when I see light ahead but hope is not enough
As another night surrounds me and it pounds me like a wave
God help me, am I the only one who's ever felt this way?
