Oh, hello — I didn’t see you there.
 I know you care what they think, even when you say you don’t.
 I know this isn’t a joke anymore;
this is your year. When those feelings of isolation come, don’t scare.
 So many have turned back when they were right there. You can’t pick and choose.
 It’s win or lose. And some victories require
solitude.

Solitude
Oh, hello — I didn’t see you there.
 I know you care what they think, even when you say you don’t.
 I know this isn’t a joke anymore;
this is your year. When those feelings of isolation come, don’t scare.
 So many have turned back when they were right there. You can’t pick and choose.
 It’s win or lose. And some victories require
solitude.
