LYRIC FOR SALE

(Verse 1)
They tell me "Girl, you're free now, learn to love the space"
With smiles that don't quite reach their eyes, they try to state their case
They fill the air with easy words, like band-aids on a wound
But every echo in this room just sings a hollow tune

(Verse 2)
So I stopped fighting shadows that were dancing on the wall
I finally just let the silence come, and I embraced it all
I pulled a chair up to the table, poured two cups of bitter tea
And I gave this heavy feeling a new name for company

(Chorus)
Oh, Aloneliness, my constant friend
You’re the one who stays right to the very end
You’re the whisper in the quiet, the weight upon my chest
But with you here, I'm not alone, I'm just a different kind of guest
I see you now, Aloneliness
And it’s okay

(Verse 3)
You’re the cold side of the pillow when I just can’t fall asleep
You’re the promise that I made myself that’s gotten hard to keep
But you’re not some monster in the dark, you're just a quiet ache
A scar that's silvered over now, a choice I had to make
And now their words don’t sting so much, the ones that missed the mark
'Cause I’ve found a strange companionship here in the lonely dark

(Chorus)
Oh, Aloneliness, my constant friend
You’re the one who stays right to the very end
You’re the whisper in the quiet, the weight upon my chest
But with you here, I'm not alone, I'm just a different kind of guest
I see you now, Aloneliness

(Bridge)
And maybe one fine morning, you’ll get up and softly go
Leave a note upon the table, but I'm not afraid to know
That you’re just a chapter, not the title of my book
And when you’re gone, I might just give that empty chair a second look

(Outro)
It’s just a matter of time, they say... and maybe that’s alright
But for tonight...
I've got you, Aloneliness.
Goodnight.
