Alone Again, Naturally

In a little while from now
 If I'm not feelin' any less sour
 I promise myself to treat myself
 Visit a nearby tower
 Climbin' to the top I'll throw myself off
 In an effort to make it clear to who
 Ever what it's like when you're shattered
 Left standin' in the lurch at a church
 Where people sayin'
 "My god, that's tough, she stood him up"
 No point in us remainin'
 May as well go home as I did it on my own
 Alone again, naturally
 To think that only yesterday
 I was cheerful, bright and gay
 Was lookin' forward to
 But who wouldn't do the role
 I was about to play?
 As if you knock me down
 Reality came around
 And without so much
 As a mere touch
 Cut me into little pieces
 Leavin' me to doubt
 Talk about God in His mercy
 Oh, if You really does exist
 Then why did he desert me?
 And in my hour of need
 I truly am indeed
 Alone again, naturally
 It seems to me that there are more hearts
 Broken in the world that can't be mended
 Left unattended
 What do we do? I ask what do we do
 Lookin' back over the years
 Whatever else that appears
 I remember I cried when my father died
 Never wishin' to hide the tears
 At 65 years old
 My mother god rest her soul
 She couldn't understand why the only man
 She had ever loved had been taken
 Leavin' 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
 I'm all on my own again, naturally
 All on my own again, naturally
