The One-Line Lyric Challenge

So Sad So Lonely

Welcome to the start of a new writing challenge. Music has always inspired me, so I decided to turn my "Song of the Month" into a monthly wring prompt / challenge. There will be a new song posted every month with a one line prompt. The challenge is to include the prompt line word for word in a poem or story. Read the description for rules and prizes.

(Note that this was copied over from my blog, where I originally started the challenge.)

Here's what I was listening to in February.
Warning: It's a bit catchy.

"So Sad So Lonely" by Matchbox Twenty



Lyrics: ▶︎

I found out
On a late night drive
In my winter coat
With my blood-shot eyes
My faith ain't been
No friend to me
And the way I sin
Is hanging off of me

And I'm sorry
You can't take me anywhere
Pretty soon we're almost there
Baby, one more night
It's been a long, long drive
And I'm way, way tired
I don't need no
Back-up plan

I don't want nobody
Nobody don't want me
I'm so sad so lonely
But I'm always landing on my feet

One more time
With a sad, sad smile
And your white bread friends
In the circus life
All the one-way rides
The sweet beginners
Passing on the left-hand side
With a sideways smile

And I'm always
One step from stalling
Bad trips can make great stories
Dance all night
With your ass on fire
And your hands up high
And feel me one more time

I don't want nobody
Nobody don't want me
I'm so sad so lonely
But I'm always landing on my feet

I learn to love myself
And I don't need no one else
And when a love moves on
'cause it gets cold
Then another moves in
And it can fill the hole

I'm one more
Hopeful lying on the bedroom floor
No sense trying
When the whole thing drops
You lose your nerve
I hope you get what you deserve

I don't want nobody
Nobody don't want me
I'm so sad so lonely
But I'm always landing on my feet
