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.
