I've Been Alone
Dan Hill · Hold On [2003]
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
I've Been Alone
