Don't Want to be Alone feat. Jemal
The worst thing -- when you're in a relationship just because you're scared of being alone
I'm writing/rapping the Dumpster Manifesto -- reality from a different perspective.

I have been interested in Hip-Hop since 1995. My first album was Tupac Shakur's Me Against The World. I was only 11, but his music still managed to reach me.
I miss rap with a message. It seems everyone is a megalomaniac. So I'm doing my own thing. Hopefully people will give a sh*t.
Story behind the song
Have had some friends get stuck in relationships, bad ones at that, because they were terrified of being alone.
Here's a line for a future song: are we so lonely that we condone this moaning and groaning not knowing we're postponing are own atonement?"
Lyrics
Title: Don't Want to be Alone
Artist: David Tansey feat. Jemal
Album: The American Dream
Please forgive me,
I know I was wrong
Try to trust me
I don't want to be alone
//
Don't wanna be alone, please forgive me
What's done is done, I can't believe you're gone,
Forget the past and believe I'm back
I just know, don't wanna be alone
//
I saw when I told you
Believe I'm sorry
The pain in your eyes
I'll never lie again
I don't bother hating, it's not worth the time
Much on my mind. If only time were mine to rewind
I'd take us back, to a better day
Say "I love you baby, let's make these our days"
"Let's pray we find a way to pay for our sins
to bring our love to the table and not to let the hate linger"
Instead you gave me the finger, I know you're hurting
Spurting out words you don't mean, though you say they're certain
You betrayed me, let's not forget
Or let ourselves dwell on what brought us this hell
I hope you'll be happy, even with out me
I know I'm genuine, my love's not about me
You can run to me if you need me I'll never leave
Just please try to live freely and you will see
I am a man, I fear there are too few
Anyways, try to be conscious of what and who you do
Success is in believing, freeing my mind
Working my mind with the time I have 'till I die
And to let myself cry when the occasion arises
Train my brain so I'm calm when life deals its surprises
We were each dealt a hand of cards, I try to play every one
Live as best as I can until the day that I'm done
So raise your chin, it's not worth the regrets
No matter how brilliant, the sun always sets
//
Don't wanna be alone, please forgive me
What's done is done, I can't believe you're gone,
Forget the past and believe I'm back
I just know, don't wanna be alone
//
