Loneliness

Well I went out walking, but ended up talking to you
While asking your name, I could see all your pain seeping through
I asked, why were you crying? There's no need for lying to me
You said that there's nothing wrong, I said that something must be

You said, but you're just a stranger, you don't need my anger or blues
I said, but we all need a hand, when we're standing on glass with no shoes
So you said I'm tired of this loneliness, hiding out deep in my bones
Ohh my mind is a mess and my heart is a handful of stepped on stones

Cuz it's been too long
Every evening, every dawn
This loneliness, it comes upon me
And it's grown so old
All this emptiness, all this cold
I'm not digging for sympathy or begging for gold
I just want someone to hold

But after a while, you managed to smile and you said
Well look at me now, you would've thought all my happiness fled
She said, you're also human, you've been through loneliness too
I said, darling, the words that you speak, you know they are true

But the sun always rises, and the spring always comes when it's time
And it takes light to see shadows, it takes pain to see love truly shine
So I'll wait for the sunrise and try not to miss shooting stars
But I'm tired of wishing on magic that fades in the dark

Cuz it's been too long
Every evening, every dawn
This loneliness, it comes upon me
And it's grown so old
All this emptiness, all this cold
I'm not digging for sympathy or begging for gold
I just want someone to hold
Ohh someone to hold
Ohh someone to hold
