Lo(v_n)er

When I left home, I brought the ghost of the lover
The company she keeps, kept her very lonely
She said she was an artist a lifetime ago
But she cooks for five and plants flowers in her garden

I think she was all along
And it made me feel small
Window shopping at the mall
Cause she's human after all

Oh lover, come back to me
You've spread yourself too thin
Oh, would you bloom once more with the light on you?
If you only knew how much your love meant to me
Come back to life

In the mirror I was met by the loner
He was asking for the time
When I looked at him he felt like a stranger
But I've known him all my life

He said the language he spoke was the giving of treasures
Until there were none, left in his chest
So then he went on and made strangers out of lovers
Until he was all alone

Oh loner, you're not too far gone
You've lost yourself in everybody else
Oh would you rest your burning soul at last
If only you knew your time was much more than enough
Then you wouldn't be lost
