Loner
Brad Edwards
I wish I could write
Tell you all of my faults
And if I could write
You'd know all of my thoughts
No page would waste a word so unkind
Restraining the intent of every line
And when I fall
I wish I could rise
You make it look so easy all the time
You'd think that by now
I'd have built my disguise
Clever words can sound so contrived
Every background noise
Eyes that look straight through
Empty chairs and missing all the cues
I should have played along for a while
I never came along for the ride
You make it look so easy all the time
