Alone
Glenn L Maluchnik 1962 (New York)
I've waited and waited for love to come my way.
But all i got was hatred.
Why does it have to be me who gets a lonely heart.
I tried, but all i get is rejection.
I need an injection of somebody's love Is what I need.
Lonely only when I breathe.
All that i love is gone.
Ignored, bored with being lonely.
No one notices me anymore.
The door was shut in my face.
A case of loneliness i suffer from.
It's not a good feeling.
I feel like someone was peeling my heart with a knife.
I gave a lot of love and caring.
I got nothing in return.
Being by yourself is another word for loneliness.
Don't bother trying to save me.
It was the loneliness trap i've fallen for.
It slapped me across the face.
I feel like I'm the only one who notices me.
Well, days will go by.
Sooner or later I'll find love.
