Merely Lost

Chances are taken
this heart stands broken
the world passes me by
The wallflower stays
and ferverntly prays
that this will be the night
Where is that someone
who once promised so much?
Shes gone, another tear
Pity, my lone crutch
please reach out and touch
this heart and bring it back to life
Sympathetic eyes
do their best to try
an look the other way
Seems like everyone's got
that someone they need
but theres an odd number
of people like me
Where is love?

I fall on my face
I feel your embrace
misplaced love
is no love at all
But God, I feel so small.
