In a little while from now

If I'm not feeling any less sour

I promised myself to treat myself

And visit a nearby tower

And climbing to the top
Abdim7Abdim7
Will throw myself off

In an effort to make it clear to whoever

What it's like when you're shattered

Left standing in the lurch, at a church

Were people are saying

To think that only yesterday

The role I was about to play

But as if to knock me down

And without so much as a mere touch
Gb6Gb6 F7F7
Cut me into little pieces
Bbmin7
Leaving me to doubt

All about God and His mercy

For if He really does exist
Abdim7Abdim7
Why did He desert me

In my hour of need?

I truly am indeed

Alone again, naturally

Now looking back over the years

And what ever else that appears

I remember I cried when my father died
