Lonely?

Sitting here all alone

Darkness closing in

It’s far away but creeping near

I just want to scream and cry

 

I’m afraid of being lost

I’m afraid of being found

I’m afraid of saying goodbye

But that must surely come after hello

 

I don’t want to sing

I don’t want to talk

I just want to stay here in the silence

Say something please just say one word

 

I feel so lonely

When I’m not in your arms

I feel so well known

When I walk down the hall

 

I cried on the inside

I died on the outside

I can’t see you

Through this curtain of tears

 

Too well understood

When no one understands

Shaking and shivering at the end

When in the beginning it should’ve been you

 

I’ve never been so happy to be so sad

Never been more relieved not to be so glad

Never understood the need to cry

Never saw you holding me

 

Hush now, sing me a song

Cry in my empty arms

Laugh at all of your own jokes

As we fall asleep in the back seat
