Once

When I was little, I was happy and carefree.
I used to run around laughing until it was time for me.

I used to play games and smile all the time.
I used to feel on top of the world, I used to feel so fine.

Things change when people let you down.
And now my happy face has turn into frowns.

You search and search
For someone who cares,
Anyone who understands,
Anyone who dares.

Loneliness, it hurts.
It kills you deep inside.
It makes you feel empty.
It stops you in your stride.

You cry yourself to sleep,
Hugging your pillow tight,
Wishing for someone to hold you through the night.

When I was little, I was happy and carefree.
I used to run around laughing until it was time for me.
Now my life's full of sadness, pain and misery.

Once when I was little
I was never on my own.
But now I pray at night
"I wish I wasn't alone."
