Loneliness has always been with me,
We’ve travelled to Paphos and Paris
We’ve cried together on the sofa late at night,
But he’s never stolen a kiss

Loneliness is like a comforter,
He’s soft and warm and kind
He tells me he can’t stay forever,
I tell him I don’t mind

I tell him that he’s all I got,
Nothing more nor less,
Loneliness, you've been good to me,
But you fill me with sickness

It’s a love-hate relationship with you,
I can never feel in control
You can make me feel so content in myself,
Simultaneously, feeling small

I don’t feel I’m in control anymore,
I feel I’ve lost you to someone else
And even if I can’t bear you near me,
I feel like you’re something else

You haunt me like summer rain,
A chill or a bite
You grasp my attention,
You fill me with fright

You’re the most disturbing thing I know,
You’re scare the **** out of me
To think you’ll come back, sooner or later,
But I know you’re coming back for me
