<p class="wp-block-paragraph">lonely</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">like the night is dark.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">lonely like its all my fault.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I’m a bottomless pit when it comes to love.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I’ll never be fit when it comes to love.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">lonely</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">like 3 spikes through my heart.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">lonely with no end and no start</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I’m repeating my days when it comes to love</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I’m a tangled maze when it comes to love</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">lonely</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">like theres no one to tell</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">lonely like I’ve lived through hell</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I’m broken and leaking when it comes to love</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">yet still hoping and seeking when it comes to love</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">lonely</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">like the sky is vast</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">lonely and haunted by the past</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">feelings blind me when it comes to love</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I’m always left behind when it comes to love</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">lonely</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">like a bird with no wings</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">lonely like a whale that can’t sing</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I never feel seen when it comes to love</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I’ll never believe when it comes to love</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">lonely</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">like the days are long</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">lonely like all hope is gone</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I only ever perish when it comes to love</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I’ll never be cherished when it comes to love</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">lonely&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">as time slips through my fingers</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">lonely and the heartache lingers</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I’m an endless void when it comes to love</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I’m the least wanted choice when it comes to love</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">lonely</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">like I lost the game</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">lonely and this doesn’t change</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I’ll never find a home when it comes to love</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I’m forever alone when it comes to love</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">every night</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I lose you more</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">my fight or flight keeps showing you the door</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">my shattered heart bleeding out on the floor</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I want to cling to you, I feel so needy</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">is there anything to cling to? no way to make it even?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">you were already gone before I knew you were leaving</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">you brand me as wrong and won’t listen or believe me</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">your glossy eyes stare as if I’m not even speaking&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">you twist your knife, I can’t stop leaking</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">feels a lot like I&#8217;m not healing, I&#8217;m breaking</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">its so hard to lose you, on repeat repeating</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I never truly had you in the first place. Did I ?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0 mph seems to be the fastest pace you fly</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">all the times you seemed sincere while lying straight to my face, why ?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">all the times you said you loved me then went and loved on her and her and her instead</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">the way you put me last is permanently burned in my head</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">now you sleep while I sob and you laugh while I’m in pain</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">how you so quickly sacrifice me for your own short-term gain&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">how I never feel seen and you never try repair</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">how we started being mean and you stranded me there</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">how the loss of you just thoroughly defeats me</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">how your slow fade eats and eats and eats at me</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I take a mental beating daily, with curdled cream</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">stinking up my hopes and dreams</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">every day</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I lose you more</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">in whole new ways we have yet to explore</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">you were always one foot way out the door</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">the empty promises, the unfulfilled “more”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">they haunt me as you turn to ghost</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">your mirage of riches that left me broke</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I weep at the grave of us, I choke</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">every night</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">every day</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">as I lose you more</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Dizzy in an endless dim.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Sometimes your shadow eats you alive</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">while you stand by at your own gates.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Sometimes no one else stops by</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">its your own tail that you chase.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You can cling to a soul thats long been gone</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">if your heart hurts, at least it isn’t stone.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">feels like you do, but you two don’t belong</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">its okay to be alone.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">dizzy from the pain of hurt</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">dizzy from the bite of time</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">sun and moon may only flirt</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">dizzy balancing the line.</p>
