“Alone Again” (Musical Cover)

Editor’s note: Although I worked with this song somewhat, particularly altering lyrics and re-interrogating some of the themes, the vast majority of creative credit and copyright belongs to M Turner, an ingenious musician and dear friend.

Lyrics

When I look at you, what do I see?
You left me alone again.
When I look at you, how do I feel?
You left me in the rain.

You tore straight into my life
With your beautiful smile and your heart like ice
You took my hand and made me say
That I’d hold yours throughout the day

You needed somebody to hold
To protect you from the cold
But when you saw that spring was due
You made me walk away from you.

When I look at you, what do I see?
You left me alone again.
When I look at you, how do I feel?
You left me in the rain.

It passed so fast and how time flies
As it peels back the disguise
When it was clear what you’d become
Well, you just smiled as I grew numb.

I couldn’t make it through the night
Memories pressing from all sides
You bade me enter, made me crawl
But I would still come if you called.

When I look at you, what do I see?
You left me alone again.
When I look at you, how do I feel?
You left me in the rain.

When I look at you what do I see?
I turn away because it hurts.
You meant everything to me
Hidden now by curves of earth.

I’m all alone and across the sea
Will you please just let me be?
You mean nothing more to me
Can you teach me to be me?

When I look at you, what do I see?
You left me alone again.
When I look at you, how do I feel?
You left me in the rain.

I’m all alone and across the sea
Will you please just let me be?
You mean nothing more to me
Can you teach me to be me?
