Sometimes when I’m alone
I shake from fear and weep
In tears I hears scary sounds
I so wish I had no ears
Sometimes when I am alone
I wish you were there to help me
I stay and I wonder why you left at first
Sometimes when I’m alone
I fight this fear
I just feel like this isn’t life
I feel like hiding my feelings away on a shelf
I feel like I’m not myself without you
Sometimes when I’m alone
I feel like I will fail in life
And fall far from faith
Sometimes when I’m alone
I sit next to the door
Hoping you will come back for me
