"Alone Again (Naturally)" lyrics - AWOLNATION

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
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
Where people saying
"My God that's tough, she stood him up
No point in us remaining"

"May as well go home"
As I did on my own
Alone again, naturally
(Ooh yeah)

To think that only yesterday
I was cheerful, bright and gay
Looking forward to, but who wouldn't do
The role I was about to play

But as if to knock me down (Knock me down)
Reality came around (Came around)
And without so much as a mere touch
Cut me into little pieces

Leaving me to doubt
Talk about God and His mercy
For if He really does exist
Why did He desert me

In my hour of need
I truly am indeed
Alone again, naturally (Naturally)

[Bridge 1:]
It seems to me that
There are more hearts
Broken in the world
That can't be mended
Left unattended
What do we do?
What do we do?

[Guitar solo]

Alone again, naturally (Naturally)

Looking back over the years (Looking back over the years)
And whatever else that appears
I remember I cried when my father died
Never wishing to hide the tears (Hide the tears)

And at sixty-five years old (Five years old)
My mother, God rest her soul (Rest her soul)
Couldn't understand, why the only man
She had ever loved had been taken

Leaving her to start with a heart
So badly broken
Despite encouragement from me
No words were ever spoken

And when she passed away
I cried and cried all day
Alone again, naturally
Alone again, naturally (Naturally)
