Now I’ve died alone, cremate my sorry ass and throw my ashes in the trash heap
Think of me no more – you never thought of me anyway
Life ain’t what you think it ought to be when you’re born into a dysfunctional family
The sharp knife of a lonely life – well I’ve had more than enough time
Make me a symbol-I’ll stand for all the lonely souls in this world
They’ll know that there’s a way out cause the world doesn’t give a damn about you
I’ve never known what love really is – I made none and take none with me
Who would have thought that hope could be severed by the sharp knife of a lonely life
Well I’ve had more than enough time
What I never did is done
Maybe now you’ll hear the words I’ve been singing – it’s funny when you’re dead how people start listening
Gather up your tears, keep ’em in your pocket – save them for a person who deserves them
Oh, the sharp knife of a lonely life, well I’ve had more than enough time
I did my best in my sorry life – never knew how to be good enough for the rest of you
