Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
I'm so tired of being alone These penitent walls are all I've known Songbird calling across the water Inside my silent asylum Oh don't leave me on my own Left me standing all alone Cut me down to size so I can fit inside Lies that will divide us both in time See the turncoat on his knees A vagabond that no one sees When a moon is throwing shadows You can't save the ones you've caught in battle Oh don't leave me on my own Left me standing all alone Cut me down to size so I can fit inside Lies you try to hide behind your eyes Don't leave me on my own Don't leave me on my own So cut me down to size so I can fit inside Lies that will divide us both in time
