Bittersweet silence, never pierced by noise
Just me and my thoughts, nobody else
My room is empty, but not my head
My mind is racing while I sit on my bed
But there's this longing, a void in my soul
Am I incomplete and lonely or alone but whole?
I'm breathing hard, my heart's beating fast
It feels like I'm dying, how long will it last?
It's wearing my soul, squashing my heart
It's draining my life force, I'm missing a part
It's ripping at my core
I can't take it anymore
I'm lonely 'cause I want it
I'm lonely, though I hate it
I'm lonely, can you help me?
I'm lonely and won't change it
Oftentimes, I lie here at night
Feeling an urge I don't want to fight
Embracing my blanket, craving the touch
Of another human, I need it so much
However, whenever I do get the chance
To let someone in, I close up in advance
It's wearing my soul, squashing my heart
It's draining my life force, I'm missing a part
It's wearing my soul, squashing my heart
It's draining my life force, I'm missing a part
It's ripping at my core
I can't take it anymore
I'm lonely 'cause I want it
I'm lonely, though I hate it
I'm lonely, can you help me?
I'm lonely and won't change it
