I've Been Alone

Dan Hill · Hold On [2003]

And I, I've been alone most of my life

I guess it hurt me

And never have I felt so less alone

I beg you darling, don't desert me



And some believe in love

And some believe, it's misplaced feelings

And me, I always change my mind

So many words have lost all meaning



And still you come for me

Your eyes, too blurred by love to know just what you see

You make me weak, you make me strong, it's all the same

We share a breath of happiness, we share the pain

Always changing



And I, I'll give to you all I am, all I will be

Life goes by so fast, together let's grow slowly



And still I come for you

My eyes, too blurred by love to know just what to do

I make you weak, I make you strong, it's all the same

We share a breath of happiness, we share the pain

Always changing



And I, I've been alone most of my life
