Lyrics:

I been known to fight the good fight
I been known to walk alone
I been known to stay out all night
Drinkin’ wine and gettin’ stoned

I feel like you’re not ever gonna let me love you
I feel like I’m gonna be left here on my own
I feel like I’m not ever gonna rise above you
I feel like we will always walk alone

I was born into the good life
I have owned a wretched soul
I was thrown into the dark night
Where I roamed with no control

I feel like you’re not ever gonna let me love you
I feel like I’m gonna have to face this on my own
I feel like I’m not ever gonna rise above you
I feel like we will always walk alone

I feel like you’re not ever gonna let me love you
I feel like I’m gonna be left here on my own
I feel like I’m not ever gonna rise above you
I feel like we will always walk alone

I love this song...probably my all time fav. I sure hope I get to hear it live in Atlanta :) If not this one, then Collide! I've only been a fan for a few years now but I have been to 5 concerts, have tixs to two more...got my fingers crossed :)

This song was a "sleeper" hit for me on the soundtrack. At first listen, I wasn't into it - but the more the CD played, the more I grew to it. Now it's one of my favorites on this soundtrack. As always - another great album!

Listening again to your mastery of lyrics, guitar solo, and you singing back up vocals to yourself (I love how you do that)...I felt your pain...again...deeper still. I am so soul-sorry; I've never wanted or intended to cause you this kind of pain. My heart bleeds. Humbly I deeply apologize. And I beg your forgiveness. Would you please forgive me?

I was raised (by myself mostly?) a strong woman; taught by circumstance and modeling to do all things on my own. I am proud of my roots, my journey, who I am. I guess I had to figure out the other part of the complete picture on my own. I didn’t know what that whole picture looked like, but sustained by my young girl dreams and woman endurance, I found, through faith, practice, and belief, I know now, but didn’t then, the precious value, the beauty, the fun, and the love in sharing my journey, sharing all of me, and unconditionally loving me…de-fleshed figurines and all. I wasn’t sure I could do it – not with everything I know now - so how could anyone else? I never met anyone, let alone a real man – of honor, integrity, intelligence, courage, and a sweet, gentle graciousness I couldn’t ever have imagined to exist but which takes my breath away over and over and over again – who could rise above, whose heart reflects my own, who I could trust with my wheel…until now. I will let you. I am soul-sorry; I didn’t know I wasn’t. Please forgive me. I didn’t understand you could love me before I did. I want to face the rest of our laps together, my love, walking hand in hand. I imagine holding your hand while you hold mine. I imagine you holding me, knowing me like you do, and how free, protected, and loved I hope to someday feel. I love you and I love me and I love you and me.

Can't wait to hear the music that goes along with this. It's a little dark, a little sad. Sure hope this isn't written about the current state of his personal life. That would be too sad

Awhh! How sad but true in the life of a star because even though your surrounded you never know who's true and being alone is how ya feel and to stay safe what you do. Like it but sad.

I'm already crying for I, too, feel The Mirror so deeply in my soul...I imagine your musical artistry, Mr. Ritchie, deepens your poetry further. I can't understand livin' life this way anymore. All I want is to love and be loved by somebody, walk together hand in hand whatever it takes and wherever the journey leads. I still believe.

Who wrote these lyrics this is not the Bobby I know. The Bobby I know gets the woman. She must really be BULLHEADED. Or really not convinced you want her for life Bob this must be a song for a lady that had NO desire to be just one of the Playthings. one that wont put up with bullcrap. will tell ya like she feels it ISNT a whatever you wanna say and do YES BOB , kinda gal...she seems VALID ~ REAL...thats the one to RUN to...RUN BOB RUN...I also think she could be quite a handful..POORBOB..These LYRICS SURE ya want that? life sure would be alot easier with the periodical Playthings..and the YES BOB GAL wouldnt it...
