Songs: Being alone

I'VE BUILT A MANSION

VERSE #1:

They say silence is golden and unspoken thoughts can't be measured.

If a last long look is priceless then you've left me with untold treasures.

A working man couldn't keep you, now you're a rich man's dream.

But I've built a mansion from what's left of you and me.

CHORUS:

The goodbye note you left made it crystal clear.

You've put the sparkle in my falling tears.

But the diamonds in your eyes made you too blind to see.

And I've built a mansion from what's left of you and me.

VERSE #2:

There's a goldmine on the table where you left your wedding ring.

The closet is a satin shrine with all of your soft things.

The walls are full of pictures, they're timeless memories.

I've built a mansion from what left of you and me.

(REPEAT CHORUS)

    Another wasted night with wasted people in an all night dive.

    Walking along the river
    I am dragging my sad steps
    Being alone
    my inside is empty
    To my shadow I would say
    Is she on the way

    Being alone
    On the streets
    Of homelessness

    Is a jail of
    Humanity
    That is walking
    Lonely

    The winds are pushing away
    The lonely man
