Alone on Shakey Ground

Here I sit alone on shaky ground

I didn't think about tomorrow

The pain deep down now feeling

It's hard not having you around

Looking back, I've come to realize

What a damned fool I'd been

I took your love for granted

Lost the one who wanted me to win

I breathe in the regret of yesterday

Gazing at the night sky, I pray

With hopes that a shooting star

Would somehow pass this way

For you, I'll search the world over 

Make wishes on a four-leaf clover

For ways to mend brokenness within

Come back, my love, my one true friend
