What am I doing here
Standing outside your door
Caught up in gnawing fear
Cutting me to the core
Knowing you said it’s over
How you’ve found a new lover
I’m left here to stand and stare
Breathing this lonely air
What am I doing here
Walking through cold dark rain
Seeing your face so clear
Seeing your eyes in pain
When you whispered “Go away.”
When I knew I’d never stay
The sweet night with you again
I’m left here so lost again
Breathing this lonely air
I see lightning in the distance
I hear thunder rumbling near
I still feel your resistance
What am I doing here?
What am I doing here
Stumbling into this bar
Wiping away my tears
Trying to heal my heart
With booze and fake laughter
Damning ever after
Choking in my despair
Breathing this lonely air
Cursed with this lonely air
Breathing this lonely air
