I should have known better, fate not to chance
To love more than one is not mere circumstance
The harder I try to meet that special one
The more I hurt others, the fool I've become

A lifetime of loneliness, no comfort from above
Seeking someone, anyone to love
Scarred by rejection, life's total sum
I will die alone, this fool I've become

Perhaps all would be better had I not been conceived
Is there someone for everyone, I cannot believe
For some of us the only emotion we know
Pain and sorrow are the seeds that we sow
Had I a say where I once came from
I would have chosen to remain rather than the fool I've become

The pain I have caused others just thinking of myself
I pray I receive double and hurt no one else
Especially the one who I still love the most
Half a world away towards the sun's setting coast

I am so sorry for hurting you so
Rest assured my faults I now know
Things are as they are and I can not undo
But one thing is certain and will always be true

God will grant you peace through your pain and comfort as well
But my torment won't end for I am bound for hell
My punishment shall forever remain undone
Always to remember the fool I've become
