Michael Alexander's original song "It Won't Be Alright For Quite Some Time"


In every offer I've received
There's been something there to deceive
Me into believing it might finally be alright
But it's the same as always, it's just the dimming of the lights

I'm trapped in the past, so far away
I'm trapped in the past, I can't find today

I'll say what I think I'm supposed to say
But promises mean nothing when their intent is frayed
I'm nowhere near reaching the bottom line
'Cause I know it won't be alright for quite some time

In every hour I've been alone
The memories have only grown
And then a scent or a song reminds me of you
Then it's back to the beginning, a bleak distortion of the truth

I'm still that boy you filled with pain
I'm still that boy that will never love again

I'll say what I think I'm supposed to say
But promises mean nothing when their intent is frayed
I'm nowhere near reaching the bottom line
'Cause I know it won't be alright for quite some time

And what was the reason you threw our love away?
What exactly was the reason
For leaving me
For leading me so astray?

I'll say what I think I'm supposed to say
But promises mean nothing when their intent is frayed
I'm nowhere near reaching the bottom line
'Cause I know it won't be alright for quite some time
