Law on Loneliness
Written by Adrienne Leopold © 2006
I’m not like an old sweater
You just throw away when it don’t fit
Don’t you think I deserve better
Than a “goodbye, you’ll get over it”
It doesn’t make much sense to me
You get off breaking my heart
So you can run but you can’t hide
If I had my way you wouldn’t get far
Chorus
There ought-a be a law on loneliness
‘Cause it don’t seem fair
You’re out playing the field
While I’m playing solitaire
Oh the one who does the crime
Should be the one who does the time
How about some justice?
Like a law on loneliness
Now wouldn’t it be much sweeter
If when you walked out you were on your own
To see the grass ain’t any greener
In that one room apartment you call home
To me that’s how love should work
When it falls apart at the seams
The heartbreaker left alone
The brokenhearted left to dream
Chorus
More than probation
At least six months to a year
Add a bit of confession
And some memories as souvenirs
This kind of sentence ain’t too severe
Chorus x2
