Sinking

(album: Loose Nut - 1985)

Sinking
Wanting
Thinking
Sinking all the while

It hurts to be alone
When it hurts to be alone

When it's cold outside
When it's cold inside
When it hurts to be alone
It hurts to be alone

It hurts to be alone
When it hurts to be alone

When I'm feeling it
When I'm down and out
When I'm feeling it
When I'm down and out

It hurts to be alone
When it hurts to be alone

All torn up
All torn down
Yeah
I'm thinking that I'm sinking
and I'm sinking all the while

It hurts to be alone
When it hurts to be alone

Falling down
Falling down
I stand up
To fall back down

It hurts to be alone
When it hurts to be alone

Caving in
Caving in
I think my heart
Is caving in

It hurts to be alone
When it hurts to be alone

Dead air
Dead phone
Dead quiet
Sinking all the while

It hurts to be alone
When it hurts to be alone

Writhing my hands
Grinding my teeth
Staring at the floor
Sinking all the while

It hurts to be alone
When it hurts to be alone

Cutting my teeth on the blues
soul sinking to the bottom of my shoes
Thinking my life's a waiting Game
Staring at my grave and feeling the same

It hurts to be alone
When it hurts to be alone

When I want what I want
When I want what I want
When I need it
I need it

It hurts to be alone
When it hurts to be alone

When all I need
Is all I need
When I need it
I need it

It hurts to be alone
When it hurts to be alone

Sinking
Sinking
Sinking
Sinking
