Loneliness

The only voices that you'll hear
Are the ones on your radio
The only love that you will feel
Is the kind that's just for show
You'll be lonely
With open wounds that never heal
You're the only one
Who cares if you come or go
Who cares if you come or go
Not me

All my life I was there for you
And yet when I needed you the most you were nowhere to be seen
Explain this to me
How can you possibly think you'd get away with a non apology
I'm sorry you felt that way
I was homeless because of you
And the best you've got is
I'm sorry you felt that way
Now it's your turn to be lonely

You hear the voices crying out
And you try and call back to them
But no they can't
They cannot answer
And all your hope is dying out
As you're locked inside this room
You can't get out
Or search for answers

You know if you'd put the smallest amount of effort
Into prioritising your child
Just a little bit
Nothing like that would have ever happened
But your response
Isn't to try and make things right
Isn't to offer consolation and resolution
It's to deny everything in one breath
And then down play it
Whilst acknowledging it
In the next

You'll be lonely
With open wounds that never heal
You'll be the only one
Who cares if you come or go
Who cares if you come or go
Who cares if you come or go

You hear the voices crying out
And you try and call back to them
But no they can't
They cannot answer
And all your hope is dying out
As you're locked inside this room
You can't get out
Or search for answers
You hear the voices crying out
And you try and call back to them
But no they can't
They cannot answer
And all your hope is dying out
As you're locked inside this room
You can't get out
Or search for answers
It's dying
