Lyrics
No One Told Me Words/Music by Kenny Shore
Lying here all alone
Even though you hold my hand
It's hard to think it's over now
Staring at the ceiling fan
But no one told me what to do
and I had every chance to ask
someone's going through this every single day
now it's come my turn at last
now I can't live, but I can't die
I'm sick and tired of this in between
let me go, I'll be okay
It's not as dreadful as it seems
but no one told me what to do
and I had every chance to ask
someone's going through this every single day
now it's come my turn at last
hand me the Bible as you're leaving
when you return I will be gone
