Alone Again (Naturally) [feat. Midland]

In a little while from now
If I'm not feeling
Any less sour
I promise myself to
Treat myself and
Visit a nearby tower
And climbing to the top
Will throw myself off
In an effort to
Make it clear
To whomever
What it's like
When you're shattered
Left standing in
The lurch
At a church where
People saying
My God that's
Tough she stood him up
No point in us remaining
May as well go home
As I did on my own
Alone again naturally
To think that
Only yesterday
I was cheerful
Bright and gay
Looking forward to
Well who wouldn't do
The role I was about to play
But as if to
Knock me down
Reality came around
And without so
Much as a mere touch
Cut me into little pieces
Leaving me to doubt
Talk about God in
His mercy
Who if he really does exist
Why did he desert me
In my hour of need
I truly am indeed
Alone again naturally
It seems to me
That there are
More hearts
Broken in the world
That can't be mended
Left unattended
What do we do
What do we do
Alone again
Naturally
Looking back
Over the years
And whatever
Else that appears
I remember I
Cried when my father died
Never wishing
To hide the tears
And at sixty five years old
My mother
God rest her soul
Couldn't understand
Why the only man
She had ever
Loved had been taken
Leaving her
To start
With a heart
So badly broken
Despite encouragement
From me
No words were
Ever spoken
When she passed away
I cried and cried all day
Alone again
Naturally
Alone again naturally
