A heavy heart can't drive very fast And with no destination I spent my night crawling around side streets Looking for an excuse to be anywhere Other than in my own company Being an introvert does not mean you must prescribe yourself loneliness But loneliness is the cheap old couch that I just can't sell Loneliness is the memories-for-decoration that my home is littered with Loneliness is my own presence not taking up enough space To fill anything except my bed Being alone was once a comfort But now it swallows me whole Spits me out onto garden city streets To drive until I am too tired to steer Not look as I pass the train tracks to get home Pull into the parking lot and sit My car is easier to fill than a home
