-7
Fate is mighty cruel
Where true love is concerned
-7
It seems you give out more
/
Than you ever have returned
Lately I have tried
-7
To make it on my own
Another nite has passed
|
Looks like I^?m bound to be alone
|
-7
Bound to be alone
Now solitude is fine
When you really need it
When your soul is dry
Sometimes loneliness can feed it
When you need a lover
You know there^?s nothin^? else will do
When you need love most
You know it turns it^?s back on you
|
Oh, I can make it thru without your company
I only wish I knew why you won^?t comfort me
I thot that I could count on you
|
To hear me cryin^? out
|
I guess that^?s one comfort
|2/4
I will learn to do without
Fallin love too easily
But never quite so fast
so you are not the first and, lord
You sure won^?t be the last
The thing about the situation
That makes me feel so sad
I could^?ve been the best old friend
|
That you have ever had
I could^?ve been the best old friend
That you have ever had
