The art of loneliness Isn't to be appreciated or loved But it is felt and known by many A lesson not taught but learned Like flying in a rocket ship Looking down and seeing everyone And how the world seems to work The feeling of not belonging with everyone else Alone on your journey to fly alone Always on the outside, looking in Wondering what it would be like To be at home somewhere The real art of loneliness Is how well so many of us hide it from others Finding a career Getting married Being social Yet never feeling at home There are moments when we connect Or cross paths with others that remind us We aren't truly alone It can be difficult to not become needy of these people And we will drive them away Because in the end This is what we know The art of loneliness isn't something you share with someone We have moments that bring smiles and happiness And those are the times when we grow tired Because anything worth enjoying Is better off shared with someone you love This is the art of loneliness

The Art of Loneliness
The art of loneliness Isn't to be appreciated or loved But it is felt and known by many A lesson not taught but learned Like flying in a rocket ship Looking down and seeing everyone And how the world seems to work The feeling of not belonging with everyone else Alone on your journey to fly alone Always on the outside, looking in Wondering what it would be like To be at home somewhere The real art of loneliness Is how well so many of us hide it from others Finding a career Getting married Being social Yet never feeling at home There are moments when we connect Or cross paths with others that remind us We aren't truly alone It can be difficult to not become needy of these people And we will drive them away Because in the end This is what we know The art of loneliness isn't something you share with someone We have moments that bring smiles and happiness And those are the times when we grow tired Because anything worth enjoying Is better off shared with someone you love This is the art of loneliness
