ALONE
Alone…
I got here all alone
And I built this on my own
When I was in search of a home
I found…
The perfect place to be found
When there's no one left around
I have to pick myself up off the ground
I'm gay…
When I told my Mum that I'm gay
She held me in her arms to say
"Don't ever lock your pain away"
When I left…
I went searching to see what was left
To recover lost time that had crept
And discover what was next
'Cause I'm twenty now and I've lost my youth
And I'm still waiting to hear the truth
My younger self might not be impressed
But, I promise, I'm trying my best (my best)
I've been waiting and losing sleep
Looking for a place that I can dream
And celebrate my right to love
I'm not really asking for much
Loving myself is getting so lonely
I'm on my own 'cause no one had told me
I crossed my heart and hoped to die
I'm leaving you with the word 'goodbye'
I wasted time with delusional dreaming
And fantasising 'bout closure and healing
Apologising to the boy who was twelve
Who was still figuring out how to be himself
So I've packed my bags ready to depart (to depart)
And leave my home for a fresh new start (fresh new start)
All of my feelings were misconstrued (misconstrued)
So I'm leaving home for somewhere new
