Forever Alone Lyrics by Ettrick Shepherd

Better Luck Next Time

2022

[Verse 1]
Maybe it’s me
Since a baby it seems I’ve chasing a dream
That I’ve taken to places they label “extreme”
Let the beat play so I can say what I mean
I’ve been coming up short with every shot that I take
Used to say it was luck but it’s not a mistake
I should be the only person copping the blame
Got me thinking there’s an obvious trait
In my demeanour or face women possibly hate
So I watch men who play at the top of their game
And try to mimic their ways like copy and pastе
But still to this day I haven’t gotten a break
Yеah I’m bitter and I won’t pretend
This is a side of me I haven’t shown my closest friends
Sick of being lonely how is this supposed to end
Line up the dominoes, I’ve gotta go again
[Hook]
I don't know what to say but my life has panned out this way
And I'll be forever alone 'til the day that I'm old and grey
I don't know what to say but my life has panned out this way
And I'll be forever alone 'til the day that I'm old and grey
[Verse 2]
Same thing every time
May seem like I’m too lazy, my brain keeps telling lies
Can’t resist the temptation to step inside
Don’t judge if you ain’t been terrified
Of the thought of being alone ‘til the day that you’re pushing up daisies, left to die
Lately I’ve felt that I’m crazy to expect to find a lady who will actually take an interest in my
Way of life, I’m so over it now
It’s got me feeling like there’s no hope to be found
My value has been held low to the ground
We know every vote counts but you don’t know the amount
That have said that I’m worthless
Far from perfect, I know
But even if I put the work in to grow
This girls will still treat me like vermin opposed to just a person
Getting older and learning to cope
I was never first in the boat, I missed it
Been abandoned, used to be so persistent
Nowadays I back away and act so distant
My past shaped me into this shit
What if I was famous?
Fast forward two years no longer a bum cos I’ve made it
I’d probably have heaps of chicks on my arm but all of them basic
None of them looking to be baes with
Me, got a expectations
Perception tainted looking for everything since I gave it
They say it’s based on location and placement
Fuck the odds, I must be not favoured
Been a loner since the days of drinking gin and sods with nobody whizzing over
Posted limp on the sofa, knowing in my mind the finish line is coming, time’s ticking over
The hourglass is running out of sand
Watching what everyone else does like I’m counting cards
Now my hearts (3) proudly guarded from every(1)one even if I find my female counterpart
I’ll never let her into my house
I’m sounding harsh but I’ve been bounding down a path with a large cloud casting upon it
Left me with over a thousand scars but you’ve found that out, I’m loud and honest
[Hook]
I don't know what to say but my life has panned out this way
And I'll be forever alone 'til the day that I'm old and grey
I don't know what to say but my life has panned out this way
And I'll be forever alone 'til the day that I'm old and grey
