no one there to walk me home safely
so i linger in the darkness
my darkness
wandering aimlessly
although i know where i need to go
just wish that there was someone that cared enough to get me there

so the strangers watch me as they laugh the night off holding hands
holding someone
and i clench my belongings
that's all i really have
just to hold something
if it can't be someone

stalling trapping myself in my 4 walls because i know i won't be able to find you there
better off wandering these roads dangerously
even though they warn me that its not safe at these hours
too bad there's no one to remind me
a lot of people will see me
but they won't notice
they'll assume i'll make it home
i always do

there are more important people in this world they have to tend to

so i clench my belongings walking home
continuously pretending there's someone for me to come home to
