4th track from 'A Stitch in Time'

lyrics

On this moonlit night
I pine for someone to hold
but they're not forthcoming
as far as I see, hear or know,
and I should have learned by now
it's unbearably clear to see
that love in all of its splendor
was not made for souls like me.
I don't try to understand it,
just accept it as an inevitability.
Who am I to demand it
when it makes no demand of me?

Life has shackled me
and no key seems it's coming my way
I can't seem to give myself
the freedom to be me.
I don't want to be solitary anymore,
oh why are you so blind?
I turn out a caterpillar
when I want to be a Butterfly.
And oh God I am done,
it seems now that life has locked the door,
and I'm damned to trudge on alone,
but this way I don't want to live anymore

I don't want to live anymore.
