Left Outside Alone Lyrics

All my life I've been waiting
For you to bring a fairy tale my way
Been living in a fantasy without meaning
It's not okay I don't feel safe

Left broken empty in despair
want to breath can't find air
Thought you were sent from up above
But you and me never had love
So much more I have to say
Help me find a way

And I wonder if you know
How it really feels
To be Left Outside Alone
When it's cold out here
Well maybe you should know
Just how it feels
To be left outside alone
To be left outside alone

All my life I've been waiting
For you to bring a fairytale my way
Been living in a fantasy without meaning
It's not okay I don't feel safe
I need to pray

Why do you play me like a game?
Always someone else to blame
Careless, helpless little man
Someday you might understand
There's not much more to say
But I hope you find a way

Still I wonder if you know
How it really feels
To be left outside alone
When it's cold out here
Well maybe you should know
Just how it feels
To be left outside alone
To be left outside alone

All my life I've been waiting
For you to bring a fairytale my way
Been living in a fantasy without meaning
It's not okay I don't feel safe
I need to pray

And I wonder if you know
How it really feels
To be left outside alone
When it's cold out here
Well maybe you should know
Just how it feels
To be left outside alone
To be left outside alone

All my life I've been waiting
For you to bring a fairytale my way
Been living in a fantasy without meaning
It's not okay I don't feel safe
I need to pray

Left Outside Alone

In an interview in The Radio Times, Anastacia said: "It was one of those songs, when you work so hard at loving someone and looking after them and being their friend, and you feel like you're giving 80% and they're giving 20. You want to put the shoe on the other foot and say, 'How does it feel that I didn't return your call?'"

Anastacia who was born Anastacia Newkirk in 1973 in New York was raised in Chicago. Diagnosed as suffering from the chronic intestinal illness Crohn's Disease at the age of 13, she overcame the symptoms to become a dancer, appearing on Club MTV and in the Salt-N-Pepa videos for "Everybody Get Up" and "Twist And Shout." After winning through to the final of the MTV talent contest show The Cut, she was signed by Daylight Records in March 1999. 18 months later she debuted in the UK charts with "I'm Outta Love." Also in 2000 her debut album Not That Kind, was a massive success. It reached the Top 10 in 8 European and Far East countries, selling over 2 million copies. This became her biggest UK hit and topped the American Hot Dance Singles Sales chart.

Anastacia revealed to The Mail on Sunday's You magazine in 2015 that the lyrics were inspired by her Ukrainian father walking out on her and the rest of the family when she was a child.

This topped the charts in a number of countries including Austria, Australia, Italy and Switzerland.
