My Cold Empty Home

by John Peterson

Wave upon wave
I feel it again
Why won't it stop
Before it begins

My life is so empty
Empty and sad
Why do they keep leaving me
Am I so bad

I feel nobody loves me
I'm always alone
Here by myself
In my cold empty home

I talk to myself
I'm my own best friend
Please loneliness stop
Come to an end

Yes they keep going
And I don't know why
Those people who say they love me
They don't even try

Just need someone
Who'll come by and say
I love you dear man
I'm here to stay

I guess I'm defective
Damaged in some way
They tell me they love me
But nobody stays

So now that I know
I'll be here alone
I'll cry myself to sleep again
In my cold empty home
