John Carter – Surrounded And Alone lyrics

Bounded by the rules and regulations
And the foolish stipulations
Of the love that you had given me that day

Founded on the principle
That life was pure and sensible
It's easy to romance a fool who wanted it that way

But I still stand by
The promises we made
And I still won't cry
As the memory fades away
When we said goodbye
I know you heard me say
I felt surrounded
And alone

I know I left you standing there
The rain still falling from your hair
It vanished in the teardrops on your cheeks

I hope you found your peace of mind
In knowing that the loss was mine
And finding out I couldn't sleep for weeks

But I still stand by
The choices that we made
And I still can't cry
As the memory fades away
When we said goodbye
I thought I heard you say
You felt surrounded
And alone

We say the words we want to hear
I told you that I loved you dear
When I wanted to hear it from you

And it seems to me as time goes on
We learn to sing a different song
And see things from a different view

But I still stand by
Everything we said
And I still won't fight
These voices in my head
As we said goodbye
I know that we both said
We felt surrounded
And alone...
