Loneliness, my old friend
It’s just been me and you
Since way back when
I’m surrounded by people
People are everywhere
But the cold wind blows through me
Like there’s no one there
CHORUS
It ain’t personal
If I don’t know your face
I feel a certain distance
From the whole human race
You can disconnect me
From this time and place
I feel a certain distance
From the whole human race
Little girl, you want to take me in
But put that cage around me
And I won’t never sing
I know you love me
But your love can never be
Cuz I’ll be tired of you
Before you’re tired of me
CHORUS
Empathy, wish you could spare me some
Seems like whole world’s problems
Are just a distant hum
I appreciate your pain
Baby, I really do
But I can’t heal your wounds
Honey, that’s all on you
CHORUS
