Lyrics
[Intro]
(Alex Singing "All By Myself")

[Verse 1]
I'm imprisoned by my own thoughts, remarks,
cost me smarts, too underground to top these charts,
what I talk in part, is to get the stress off heart,
off my chest, to rest like rocks on top of tarp,
but I'm tossed like carp - me, my stasche like contraband,
is looked down on like I'm walkin' with markered hands,
pants / hangin' down like a martyr man,
or a garter band, honest that, I'm far from a Harvard grad,
hard to stand, kicked to the curb like a garbage can,
and just when I started to land, they grasp my hand,
demand to pick me up like clothes to hamper,
love my baby we potty training, gotta go get some Pampers,
packin' her bags to send her away, plane departed,
the disdain's the hardest... jet lag started,
so Let me tell you where my heart is... part is-
-in colorado, it can't follow so this a hollow apartment
---
[Chorus] x2
She's a thousand miles away and were distant,
tryna kick it but she's missin' and it feels different
I will never give you up, never let you down,
my love is devout and it's time will never run out
---
[Verse 2]
Walkin' cold, nearly fold, both hearts are sent,
more like stole, standin' close to the bargain bin,
livid souls, livin' slow 'cause this carcinogen -
stays close, just to show that it's part-descent
of her, loves her but snubbed her first before,
and I've loved her ever since she's run to the door,
this just a course, no remorse for the silent type,
we may be poor, but endured the highest price,
of life, this might be the slightest breakin' point,
still I'm takin' coins, I'm tired of tryna chase the joy,
maybe it's a ploy to destroy the hope with guilt,
throwin' the filth on the real happy home we've built,
still I feel it's hard to place cold shoulders,
and be alone to hold her til her face grows older,
mould her into mine in time, the trials we'll face,
but for now, she's not around, a thousand miles away
---
[Chorus] x2
---
[Bridge]
You have no idea how much we miss you when
your away. I love you like your my own flesh
and blood. I will forever be your Daddy Ben,
and I will always be here for you....
---
[Verse 3]
She sits in crib, different kid, dreamin' she's gone,
homesick she gets, drifts & kicks, screamin' for Mom,
amidst the switch, she just lives, no reason to stop,
the wishful twitch, hope she's missed, us, leavin' his lawn,
gets on a plane, near the lane, trustin' the guilty,
sips for a taste, cupful' grape, clutchin' her kilky,
descent and strain, she's afraid, touchin' her chair-rest,
her mother waits, she jumps straight, huggin' her parent,
the moods fixed... even when rules nixed,
she's glued, sticks to her Mother afraid to lose grip,
no more trips, she got sick, facin' a changed society,
afraid to sleep, she won't eat, seperation anxiety,
then she eyes me, runs with surprise and screams
my pride's achieved, we hug tight, I cried with glee,
tells me she missed me, it's history, I'm finally right,
check for monsters that haunt her and kiss her nighty night
I love you
---
[Chorus] x2

[Outro]
You know eventhough times are hard, we will make it,
because I love you both...
