Why
Why Am I Lonely
with empty arms
and an empty bed
When I know you love me
As i do you...
Why am I so cold
When summer is here now
And here in the desert its 100 each day
Because it seems like forever
since you touched me last
And heated my soul with a smile
And why do I feel incomplete
everytime you leave
Or worse, everytime you never arrive
Part dead
With a hole in my heart
And echoes of insanity in my head
And why do I doubt
When you say you will be back
When so far you have
Though the gap seems to grow every month
And you quit making promises
Insisting you would try.
So tell me, Why am I lonely
Sleeping alone three weeks out of every five
And dressing my pillows in you old teeshirts
As a talisman
Tell me, why?
