(stuff that is less complete than other stuff)
one moment I'm up, next moment I'm down
as manic depressive, as a smiling frown
as symbiotic, as a crying clown
as moment to moment - I see this town
how did I get here?...
it's not where I wanted to live
somebody asked me to come
and give all I could give
that makes me happy
so I did it
gave everything
and still I'm alone
and I don't want to be alone
out here tired and on my own...
lonely in Buffalo
lonely in Buffalo
too broke to move on
what do you do with a dream
when all hope for it is gone?
lonely in Buffalo
too old to feel young
but it's a passing moment
like a song is sung
lonely in Buffalo
anybody out there
anybody out here
anybody who cares
anybody who dares
overcome all of the fears
to share?
I feel young, I feel old
I feel hot, I feel cold
I just did as I was told
and now I have no one to hold...
lonely in Buffalo
I am weak, I am strong
I am right, I am wrong
I don't fit in, I belong
I am not singing this song
I am just writing this song
I am just feeling this song...
lonely in Buffalo
lonely in Buffalo
too tired to care
what happens to a promise
when it's too broken to repair?
e=mc2?
I've got to care
that's why I'm here
it's why I live
to give all I can give
and I don't want to die
I laugh, I cry
I try and try
I do not lie
or say goodbye
I believe in love
in the goodness in your heart
I wonder why I'm
lonely in Buffalo
lonely in Buffalo
anybody out there
anybody out here
anybody who cares
anybody who dares
overcome all of the fears
to share?
loneliness is no fun
when all I want to do is share
millions of people around me
but nobody stops to care
don't want to be sad tonight
don't want to bring you down
but I feel the words I write
and I find myself in town
lonely in Buffalo
too tired to sleep
my mind will not lay down
got promises to keep
lonely in Buffalo
anybody want to share?
I am right here
and I care
do you dare?
do you hear?
is anybody out there?
I want to know
is anybody else...
lonely in Buffalo
could just as easily be Orlando
a place I once called home
and it was the same in New York City
where I first started to roam
didn't change in California
lonely at a slower pace
doesn't seem to matter where I go
I'm in the same place
lonely... now you know
and for the moment I'm
lonely in Buffalo
looking for a friendly face
a smile to grow
there's just one dream I chase
don't you know?
I hope for me
soon I will see
that I won't be...
