Lone Wolf

Loneliness is something we have all experienced and endured at some point in our lives. Some of us have had to live with more loneliness than others. While my life has been beautiful and full, it has been mostly devoid of romantic partnership and love. For whatever reason, the universe has kept me solo for a long time. And as everyone around me couples off, becomes engaged, and marries, I often find myself as the odd man out, the third wheel, the lone wolf. As much as I try to accept that the universe has a plan for me and perhaps I need to be alone awhile longer to travel to the destinations it has ordained, I still can’t help but struggle with deep blue emotions brought on my loneliness from time to time, which have birthed this song, Lone Wolf. I share this here for anyone who has found themselves in a similar position; may this act as a form of expression for you.

LONE WOLF

PROLOGUE:

(Maybe I did something in my past life? Maybe I’m supposed to learn something on my own? I don’t know. But it’s really hard. I just feel so left out by other people. I go from being talked at all day, to deafening silence, all on my own)

 

VERSE 1:

Another wedding, white and stunning,

It’s nowhere close to mine.

Another party, on a Friday,

I arrive and leave alone.

Another fun day, on a Sunday,

Could go third wheel it, but I won’t.

 

I’m happy for them, truly I am,

But I can’t help the way I feel.

I’m walking crying, nobody but me,

Through this life, I deal.

 

CHORUS:

I am the lone wolf,

Riding solo,

It’s hard, but it’s all I know.

Wish I could change it,

But I can’t change it.

I just walk this lonely road.

 

So I am left out, out in the cold.

I’m wandering round the, round the woods.

Lost navigating on my own.

And it’s getting really old.

 

VERSE 2:

Another hot day, beach by the blue bay,

On my bike cruisin’ the boardwalk all alone.

Another weekend, chance to sleep in,

Wake up early, in a cold and empty room.

Another birthday, go clubbing out late,

I’m surrounded but dancin’ on my own.

 

I’m happy for them, truly I am,

But I can’t help the way I feel.

I’m walking crying, nobody but me,

Through this life I live.

 

CHORUS:

I am the lone wolf,

Riding solo,

It’s hard, but it’s all I know.

Wish I could change it,

But I can’t change it.

I just walk this lonely road.

 

So I am left out, out in the cold.

I’m wandering round the, round the woods.

Lost navigating on my own.

And it’s getting really old.
