• Once when I was little
    I was happy and carefree
    I used to run around laughing
    Until it was time for tea

    I used to play games
    And smile all the time
    I used to feel on top of the world
    I used to feel fine

    It's amazing how things change
    When people let you down
    And how that once happy face
    Turns into a solemn frown

    You search and search
    For someone who cares
    Anyone who understands
    Anyone who dares

    Loneliness, it hurts
    It kills you deep inside
    It makes you feel empty
    It stops you in your stride

    You cry yourself to sleep
    Hugging your pillow tight
    Wishing for someone
    To hold you through the night

    Once when I was little
    I was happy and carefree
    Now my life's full of sadness,
    Pain and misery

    Once when I was little
    I was never on my own
    But now I pray at night
    ''I wish I wasn't alone''
