To Love And Lose

Here am I alone again
Holding my heart in a hand
Why was I born to love and lose?
I cannot understand

Each road I travel seems to end
Where love was certain to begin
Once more I'm faced with swallowed pride
And tears I cannot hide

It seems true love is not for me
No matter how I try
I awake to find that I am all alone
Without a reason why

Why can't this heart of mine take wing
And fly beyond the birds that sing?
Some far off place where I can choose
A love I'll never lose

Why can't this heart of mine take wing
And fly beyond the birds that sing?
Some far off place where I can choose
A love I'll never lose
