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.

Lifeline Lyrics

I feel the knife at my throat
And it cuts and it burns
Have you no mercy
You laugh as I twist and I turn
Crushing the air in my chest
Till there is no air to breathe
Pray there's a way to escape
But the joke is on me

Show me some hope
Show me some light
'Cause I got nothing left in my tonight
If I don't go
If I say no
Is it the end?
Somebody tell me
Have I just wasted a lifetime?
Show me some hope
God it's so cold
Throw me a Lifeline
It's so cold
It's so cold
Throw me a lifeline

All too familiar
So why are we back here again?
Tell me you know how it feels to be killing a friend
Screaming in silence
There's no way of saving myself
If there's no redemption
I'll see you in Hell

Show me some hope
Show me some light
'Cause I got nothing left in my tonight
If I don't go
If I say no
Is it the end?
Somebody tell me
Have I just wasted a lifetime?
Show me some hope
God it's so cold
Throw me a lifeline
It's so cold
It's so cold
Throw me a lifeline

Throw me a lifeline
Now you gone and done

If I don't go
If I say no
Is it the end?
Somebody tell me
Have I just wasted a lifetime?
Show me some hope
God it's so cold
Throw me a lifeline
It's so cold
It's so cold
Throw me a lifeline
A lifeline
A lifeline
A lifeline

Lifeline

This song was written by one of Anastacia's producers Jamie Hartman along with Phil Bentley and Shelly Peiken. Anastacia first heard it the day she wrote "Pendulum" and told Hartman she wanted to record the tune as she identified with the lyrics after battling breast cancer. However, the singer was told it was being held for The Hunger Games.

"The Hunger Games didn't take it; so almost at the end of writing this album he asked me if I was still interested," Anastacia told Digital Spy . "There are songs I hear that I wish were mine like 'Crazy' by Cee Lo. I feel like that was so my song! 'Lifeline' was the right song for me."

"Jamie wasn't sure if he needed to change a few of the lines that were inappropriate, because it was written about killing a friend. I said 'No, because I'm singing this song to cancer,'" she continued. "To be honest, cancer made me kill a part of myself. He didn't even think about it like that."
