SOMEONE FOR EVERYONE?

SOMEONE FOR EVERYONE

There's someone for everyone, that's what they say
But when women see me, they turn the other way
Rejection after rejection, turning my heart cold
Knowing I'll be alone, even when I grow old
Looking for someone who can heal these wounds
But I won't hold my breath, that won't happen soon
It's just another saying that sounds good on paper
But in real life the truth of those words begin to waver
If there was someone for everyone there would be no sadness
People depressed and desperate, alone in their madness
There would be no one who gave up on hope
Or those who have reached the end of their rope
Looking for love, but finding nothing in return
Watching their lives wither away in a slow burn
Watching the light fade as they begun to cry
Tortured souls until the day they die
There's someone for everyone, that's not what I see
I know in this life that there's no one for me.
