All Alone

If I wanted it back, I'd take it

If I couldn't handle it, I'd simply break it

If I had the choice, I'd forget it

If I loved like I said, I'd pretend it

If I called you names, I'm sorry

If I hurt you, I am wrong

If I am stupid, that is why I sit here

All alone





If I forget you, I'd be dead

If I remember, then I forget

If I swollow, then I choke

If I drink, I won't wake up

If I fall behind, just leave me

If I am wrong, please tell me

If I am hurtful, that is why I sit here

All alone



If I am angry, that's why I write here

All alone



I can't begin to forgive myself

For every friend that I let down

All the people in this town

Everyone I pulled to the ground

I am sorry for even breathing

Even more for simply speaking

If I am lonely, that's why I sit here

All alone

If I am broke, that's why I sit here

All alone



If I am no longer a feeling to you

That's why I feel the way I do

If I am stupid, that's why I sit here

All alone

If I am crazy, that's why I write this

All alone



I am stupid, I am lonely, I am...

All alone

i dont understand how you hurt everyone? your heart is so big joel, if you are all alone its because everyone is blind and scared and stupid. your wonderful joel i can speak from experience...so much experience. if i could be half the person you were i would have so much more going for me. keep your head up...your going places, you are.
