Am I The Only One

Dixie Chicks · Wide Open Spaces [1998]

There is no good reason

I should have to be so alone

I'm smothered by this emptiness

Lord I wish I was made of stone

Like a fool I lent my soul to love

And it paid me back in change

God, help me

Am I the only one who's ever felt this way?



A heart that's worn and weathered

Would know better then to fight

But I wore mine like a weapon

Played out love like a crime

And it wrung me out and strung me out

And it hung years on my face

God, help me,

Am i the only one who's ever felt this way?



Now my sense of humor needs a break

I see a shadow in the mirror

And she's laughing through her tears

One more smile is all I can fake



There is a wound inside me

And it's bleeding like a flood

There's times when I see a light ahead

Hope is not enough.

And another night surrounds me

And it pounds me like a wave

God, help me,

Am i the only one who's ever felt this way?

God, help me,

Am i the only one who's ever felt this way?
