Dixie Chicks Am I the Only One (Who's Ever Felt This Way) lyrics

There is no damn reason I should have to be so alone
I'm smothered by this emptiness, Lord I wish I was made of stone
Like I fool I lent my soul to love and it paid me back in change
God help me, am I the only one who's ever felt this way?

Well a heart that's worn and weathered would know better than to fight
But I wore mine like a weapon, played out love like a crime
And it wrung me out and strung me out and it hung years on my face
God help me, am I the only one who's ever felt this way?

Now my sense of humor needs a break
I see a shadow in the mirror

And she's laughin' through her tears
One more smile's all I can fake

There is a wound inside me and it's bleeding like a flood
There's times when I see a light ahead, when hope is not enough
As another night surrounds me and it pounds me like a wave
God help me, am I the only one who's ever felt this way?
God help me, am I the only one who's ever felt this way? Yeah
