In the Middle of It All

My house is a lonely house (lonely house)
But it was, was a happy house (happy house)
And the two of us were happy as I recall (as I recall)

But now the rain falls around it
And loneliness surrounds it
And I'm in the middle of it all

My friends look at me and say (me and say)
I wonder what made that boy that way (that way)
The boy doesn't even smile at all (smile at all)
But I wonder what they would say
If their world just came down one day
And they were in the middle of it all

I gave that girl all the love that I had, had to give
And the love that I gave her was real now, really real
Now I ache, yeah, with heartbreak and pain (heartbreak and pain)
And a hurt that I just can't explain
Yes, it looks like my life is about to fall (about to fall)
But, I built a shield around it
But sadness has found it
And me, I'm in the middle of it all
I will sit right here in the middle
