Stand Alone

I want to be the one

Left behind without my kind

 

I want to be the one

That weathers the storm

 

The one with the umbrella

Raining above and raining under

 

I want to be the one

In black upon the hill

 

I want to be the one

Laying flowers

 

I want to be the one

Saddled with that burden

 

I can handle grief

But causing those to grieve

That I cannot handle

I want to be the last to go
